Abstract
The systems and methods are provided that can enable the detection of certain modes of online interactions carried out by a user's computing device, for example, when an online app or webpage of an enterprise is accessed by the user's computing device. Certain exemplary implementations may utilize collector code that resides in the app or webpage opened by users accessing the enterprise service to measure and collect timing data to detect whether the user's computing device or associated browsing session is subjected to modes of manipulation such as the user browser's privacy mode being engaged, malware interacting with the browsing session, and/or some type of aggregator interacting with the browsing session. Such modes of manipulation can impact the utility and accuracy of certain forms of behavioral biometric algorithms, particularly those that utilize users' typing, timing, keystroke dwell, etc.
