Identity Impersonation Detection in User Sessions
Protecting accounts by detecting subtle behavioral shifts in real time
BY USE CASES
In today’s digital world, attackers increasingly use compromised credentials to impersonate legitimate users during active sessions. Traditional systems may not detect these threats, as logins appear “valid.”


The Challenge:
Valid credentials don’t guarantee a valid user
Traditional methods struggle with subtle shifts in behavior
Static rules miss evolving impersonation techniques
Real-time detection requires fast and scalable analysis
Quantum-Inspired Solution
Quantum-inspired models are ideal for detecting tiny but meaningful behavioral changes that indicate impersonation, even when credentials are valid.
Behavioral Fingerprinting via Multi-Dimensional Modeling
HessQ builds a dynamic fingerprint for each user session using typing patterns, navigation flow, mouse movement, timing, and more
When a session starts to deviate from learned patterns, our QUBO engine flags it as a potential impersonation in real time
he model processes live behavior as it happens — allowing instant alerts or multi-factor authentication triggers when a session turns suspicious
QUBO-Based Pattern Deviation Detection
Zero-Lag Alerts


The Results:
Detects impersonation within seconds of session deviation
Identifies non-obvious behavior changes, like cursor hesitation or page sequence mismatch
Reduces user friction by minimizing unnecessary alerts
Cuts down the time attackers remain undetected in accounts
