SecureNative performs user monitoring by analyzing user interactions with your application and various factors such as network, devices, locations and access patterns to stop and prevent account takeover attacks.

Install the SDK

When using PyPi, run the following:

pip install securenative

Initialize the SDK

To get your API KEY, login to your SecureNative account and go to project settings page:

Option 1: Initialize via Config file

SecureNative can automatically load your config from securenative.ini file or from the file that is specified in your SECURENATIVE_CONFIG_FILE env variable:

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative


# 1. Config file path is given by environment variable 
securenative = SecureNative.init()

# 2. Config file path is specified directly
securenative = SecureNative.init('path/to/securenative.ini')

Option 2: Initialize via API Key

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative


securenative = SecureNative.init_with_api_key("YOUR_API_KEY")

Option 3: Initialize via ConfigurationBuilder

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative
from securenative.config.securenative_options import SecureNativeOptions


options = SecureNativeOptions(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", max_events=10, log_level="ERROR")
securenative = SecureNative.init_with_options(options)

Getting SecureNative instance

Once initialized, sdk will create a singleton instance which you can get:

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative


securenative = SecureNative.get_instance()

Tracking events

Once the SDK has been initialized, tracking requests sent through the SDK instance. Make sure you build event with the EventBuilder:

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative
from securenative.context.securenative_context import SecureNativeContext
from securenative.models.event_options import EventOptions
from securenative.enums.event_types import EventTypes
from securenative.models.user_traits import UserTraits


securenative = SecureNative.get_instance()

context = SecureNativeContext(client_token="SECURE_CLIENT_TOKEN",
                               ip="127.0.0.1", 
                               headers={"user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405"})
event_options = EventOptions(event=EventTypes.LOG_IN,
                               user_id="1234",
                               user_traits=UserTraits("Your Name", "name@gmail.com", "+1234567890"),
                               context=context,
                               properties={"custom_param1": "CUSTOM_PARAM_VALUE", "custom_param2": True, "custom_param3": 3})

securenative.track(event_options)

You can also create request context from requests:

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative
from securenative.models.event_options import EventOptions
from securenative.enums.event_types import EventTypes
from securenative.models.user_traits import UserTraits


def track(request):
    securenative = SecureNative.get_instance()

    context = securenative.from_http_request(request)
    event_options = EventOptions(event=EventTypes.LOG_IN,
                                user_id="1234",
                                user_traits=UserTraits("Your Name", "name@gmail.com", "+1234567890"),
                                context=context,
                                properties={"custom_param1": "CUSTOM_PARAM_VALUE", "custom_param2": True, "custom_param3": 3})
    
    securenative.track(event_options)

Verify events

Example

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative
from securenative.models.event_options import EventOptions
from securenative.enums.event_types import EventTypes
from securenative.models.user_traits import UserTraits


def verify(request):
    securenative = SecureNative.get_instance()

    context = securenative.from_http_request(request)
    event_options = EventOptions(event=EventTypes.LOG_IN,
                                user_id="1234",
                                user_traits=UserTraits("Your Name", "name@gmail.com", "+1234567890"),
                                context=context,
                                properties={"custom_param1": "CUSTOM_PARAM_VALUE", "custom_param2": True, "custom_param3": 3})
    
    verify_result = securenative.verify(event_options)
    verify_result.risk_level  # Low, Medium, High
    verify_result.score  # Risk score: 0 -1 (0 - Very Low, 1 - Very High)
    verify_result.triggers  # ["TOR", "New IP", "New City"]

Webhook signature verification

Apply our filter to verify the request is from us, for example:

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative


def webhook_endpoint(request):
    securenative = SecureNative.get_instance()
    
    # Checks if request is verified
    is_verified = securenative.verify_request_payload(request)

Extract proxy headers from cloud providers

You can specify custom header keys to allow extraction of client ip from different providers. This example demonstrates the usage of proxy headers for ip extraction from Cloudflare.

Option 1: Using config file

SECURENATIVE_API_KEY: "YOUR_API_KEY"
SECURENATIVE_PROXY_HEADERS: ["CF-Connecting-IP"]

Initialize sdk as shown above.

Options 2: Using ConfigurationBuilder

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative
from securenative.config.securenative_options import SecureNativeOptions


options = SecureNativeOptions(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", max_events=10, log_level="ERROR", proxy_headers=['CF-Connecting-IP'])
securenative = SecureNative.init_with_options(options)

Remove PII Data From Headers

By default, SecureNative SDK remove any known pii headers from the received request. We also support using custom pii headers and regex matching via configuration, for example:

Option 1: Using config file

SECURENATIVE_API_KEY: "YOUR_API_KEY"
SECURENATIVE_PII_HEADERS: ["apiKey"]

Initialize sdk as shown above.

Options 2: Using ConfigurationBuilder

from securenative.securenative import SecureNative
from securenative.config.securenative_options import SecureNativeOptions


options = SecureNativeOptions(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", max_events=10, log_level="ERROR", pii_regex_pattern='((?i)(http_auth_)(\w+)?)')
securenative = SecureNative.init_with_options(options)
