The End User Protection Team

Auth0 is an easy-to-implement authentication and authorization platform designed by developers for developers. We ensure access to applications is safe, secure, and seamless for the more than 100 million daily logins worldwide. Our modern approach to identity enables this Tier-0 global service to deliver convenience, privacy, and security, allowing customers to focus on innovation.

The End User Protection team is responsible for building and maintaining Auth0's Attack Protection capabilities. Cyberattacks, such as credential stuffing and password spraying, often target end users to gain unauthorised access to applications. These attacks pose a significant threat, compromising user accounts and data. The Attack Protection features mitigate these risks by continuously monitoring user login behaviour and automatically detecting and blocking malicious activity. They protect users without adding unnecessary friction.
The team works closely with our Machine Learning and AI teams to develop and deploy cutting-edge detection models. This collaboration allows application builders to provide a secure login experience for their users while isolating them from the complexities and ever-evolving tactics of these attacks.
