Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for use in assessing the risk of electronic communications using logon types. In one embodiment, the techniques comprise a method. The method comprises receiving an electronic communication relating to a login request involving a user and a provider of a computerized resource. The method comprises determining a logon type associated with the logon request. The method comprises determining a first value relating to an amount of logon requests associated with the logon type involving the user and the provider over a first time period and a second value relating to an amount of logon requests associated with the logon type involving the user and the provider over a second time period that is greater than the first time period. The method comprises generating a risk score describing the risk associated with the logon request based on the first and the second values.
