IP intelligence lookup provides data that identifies devices connected to the internet, giving you insights on location and threats. This can help you with a range of business tasks, including localizing your website, enriching forms, analyzing logs and enforcing GDPR compliance.
You can also gain a deeper understanding of your customer or user’s connection quality by checking the geolocation, ISP and hostname of an IP address. In addition, you can determine whether the address is connecting via a VPN or a proxy, helping to identify potential security issues.
Enhancing Security: IP Intelligence Lookup
Cybercriminals use VPNs and proxies to mask their identities, meaning an IP lookup can reveal more about the user than you might expect. IP lookups can also reveal information about your network connections, so it’s important to evaluate the need for this type of tool with your IT team and ensure that you comply with data protection regulations and permissions when using IP intelligence to uncover sensitive details.
A quick IP lookup can reveal a wealth of information about the user, from their home, school or university internet service provider (ISP) to a more suspicious connection such as a bot or a data center server. This data can then be used to verify users, screen payments and better understand online IP address risk.
