Maxmind

MaxMind provides IP intelligence and fraud detection services used by online businesses to assess risk and geolocate internet users. Its GeoIP products map IP addresses to geographic location, connection type, and network attributes, supporting use cases like content localization, digital advertising, and compliance. The minFraud service scores transactions in real time by analyzing device, email, and IP-based signals to flag potentially fraudulent orders and account activity. E-commerce companies, payment processors, ad tech platforms, and content providers integrate these tools via APIs, downloadable databases, and web services. The company also offers tools for identifying proxies, VPNs, and anonymizing networks to help clients detect suspicious or high-risk traffic.
