Your customers interact across mobile, web, branch, and API — but your identity systems do not see them as one person. Identity sprawl creates gaps. Session hijacking goes undetected. Credential stuffing overwhelms login infrastructure. Cian Gatekeeper unifies customer identity across 100% of channels, prevents account takeover with adaptive authentication, and blocks credential stuffing in real time — all with 100% consent compliance enforcement.

Your customers interact with your institution through mobile apps, web portals, branch systems, call centers, and API integrations. But each channel maintains its own identity silo. The mobile app does not know the customer just called the branch. The web portal does not know the session was compromised on mobile.
According to Javelin Strategy & Research, account takeover fraud losses exceeded
$11 billion in 2024. Most ATO attacks succeed because identity systems are fragmented.
Each channel maintains separate identity records, authentication states, and session contexts. When a customer changes their password on the web, the mobile app session remains active. When a device is compromised, the call center does not know. Identity sprawl creates gaps that attackers exploit.
Traditional IAM systems were built for employees, not customers. CIAM requirements — progressive profiling, consent management, cross-channel session management, and adaptive authentication — exceed what employee IAM delivers. According to Gartner, fewer than 30% of financial institutions have a unified CIAM platform across all channels.
Attackers steal sessions through malware, phishing, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Credential stuffing bots test stolen credentials at scale. According to Akamai, financial services were the most targeted industry for credential stuffing in 2024, accounting for 34% of all attacks. Most institutions detect ATO after the damage is done.
JOB DESCRIPTION
Cian Gatekeeper is a Lead AI Customer Identity Director that operates across your digital channels as a dedicated customer identity management and protection specialist.
Lead AI Customer Identity Director | FF-CIM
Reports To
Your CISO / Head of Digital Banking
Works With
Existing IAM, mobile banking, web,
branch, and API systems
Deployed In
30 days (shadow mode first)
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Unify customer identity across 100% of channels — mobile, web, branch, call center, and API into a single authoritative profile
Prevent account takeover through continuous session monitoring, behavioral analysis, and anomaly detection
Deliver adaptive authentication that adjusts friction based on real-time risk scoring
Block credential stuffing attacks in real time without impacting legitimate customer logins
Enforce consent compliance at 100% with GDPR/ CCPA-mapped audit trails
AUTONOMY MODEL
Low risk — Acts autonomously (approve, clear)
Medium risk — HITL by default (configurable)
High risk — ALWAYS human review (non-negotiable)
You configure the threshold per rule
Kill switch : Disable instantly
These metrics are target specifications for Cian Gatekeeper's production model.
Model: Behavioral identity analytics with session risk scoring | Data : Customer profiles, session tokens, device data, login history, consent records| Status : Phase 3 roadmap — design specifications
HOW IT WORKS
Cian Gatekeeper connects to your existing customer-facing systems as an identity layer — no rip-and-replace, no migration. Here is how customer identity is managed and protected:
Cian Gatekeeper integrates with your mobile banking, web portal, branch systems, call center, and API platforms via API. Customer
identity data — profiles, device history, session tokens, login
history, and consent records — is linked into a single unified identity per customer across all channels.
Every customer interaction is evaluated using adaptive authentication. Risk scoring considers device trust, location, behavior, session history, and the sensitivity of the requested action. Low-risk interactions proceed with minimal friction. Higher-risk interactions trigger proportional step-up verification — biometric, OTP, or challenge questions.
Post-authentication, Cian Gatekeeper continuously monitors session behavior for anomalies — session hijacking attempts, unusual navigation patterns, rapid action sequences, and behavioral deviations that indicate a compromised session or account takeover in progress.
When threats are detected, Cian Gatekeeper responds in real time:
• Credential stuffing → Block at the login layer
• Session hijacking → Terminate session, force re-authentication
• Account takeover → Lock account, alert security team (always)
• Consent violation → Block data access, log compliance event
Every action produces an audit trail with consent compliance and
regulatory framework mapping.

launches. We will notify you when shadow mode testing begins.
AI customer identity management in regulated financial services requires compliance with identity, authentication, and data protection frameworks. Every identity decision Cian Gatekeeper makes is mapped to the regulatory framework that applies.

ROI — AI CUSTOMER IDENTITY MANAGEMENT vs HIRING vs LEGACY TOOLS
How does Cian Gatekeeper compare to hiring identity engineers or deploying legacy CIAM platforms?
| Criteria | Hire 3 Identity Engineers | Legacy CIAM Platform | Cian Gatekeeper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual cost | $480K-$960K (salary + benefits | $200K-$500K (license + integration) | Custom pricing |
| Deployment time | 6-12 months (recruit + implement | 12-18 months (full deployment) | 30 days (shadow mode) |
| Cross-channel unification | Manual, ongoing project | Vendor-dependent | 100% automated |
| Account takeover prevention | Manual monitoring | Basic rules | ML-powered, real-time |
| Adaptive authentication | Custom development | Vendor-dependent | Built-in, dynamic |
| Credential stuffing blocking | WAF rules (limited) | Basic rate limiting | ML-powered, real-time |
| Consent compliance | Manual tracking | Partial | 100% automated GDPR/CCPA |
| Scales with customers | Hire more ($$) | License tiers ($$) | Auto-scales |
| Learns from behavior | Manual analysis | No | Yes (continuous) |
Key insight:According to Javelin Strategy & Research, account takeover fraud losses exceeded $11 billion in 2024. The cost of a
single ATO incident — account recovery, customer remediation, regulatory reporting, and reputational damage — can exceed $25,000. Cian Gatekeeper prevents ATO at the identity layer — before fraud occurs — at a fraction of the cost of dedicated identity engineering teams.
Cian Gatekeeper delivers maximum impact when paired with these FluxForce SuperHumans:
Extends customer identity decisions into zero trust access policies — if Cian detects a compromised session, Nova blocks access across all systems instantly .
Adds biometric identity verification to customer onboarding and high-risk interactions — confirming the real person behind the account.
Low risk: Cian acts autonomously (approve, minimal friction).Medium risk: HITL by default (step-up authentication - configurable).High risk: Always human security review. You set the threshold per channel, per action type, per risk tier.
Disable Cian Gatekeeper instantly. No system impact. No downtime. One click. Authentication reverts to existing IAM policies.
Run Cian Gatekeeper on your live customer interactions for 30 days. Observation only — no enforcement, no friction changes. Validate identity unification and risk scoring before going live.
Every identity decision includes plain-English reasoning — why authentication was approved, stepped up, or blocked. Device trust, location, behavior, and session signals are documented for every decision.
Every decision logged with immutable, tamper-evident evidence chain. Regulation → rule → evidence → action → outcome.
API integration layer. Cian Gatekeeper works with your existing IAM, mobile banking, and web infrastructure. No rip-and-replace.
