Abstract

A method, apparatus, computer-readable medium, and/or system may comprise a computing device comprising a processor and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to generate a secure session connection between the computing device and a server associated with one or more routing networks. The computing device may receive, from the server and via the secure session connection, data associated with the one or more routing networks. The computing device may store, at a database, the data associated with the one or more routing networks. The computing device may determine whether new activity associated with a user and involving at least one of the one or more routing networks is detected. In response to determining that new activity associated with the user is detected, the computing device may transmit, to the database, a request for the stored data associated with the one or more routing networks. The computing device may receive, from the database, the stored data associated with the one or more routing networks. The computing device may determine, based on a plurality of factors determined from the stored data associated with the one or more routing networks, a score for the new activity. The server associated with one or more routing networks may be configured to transmit, to the computing device and via the secure session connection, the data associated with the one or more routing networks.
