Topics:

  • What is reCAPTCHA? Aren’t you guys the super annoying 'click on the busses' thing?
  • What is account defender? Why was this a natural next step for you?
  • What are the actual threats that this handles - and handles well? Specific web attacks? Web fraud?
  • Let’s talk about account fraud, what do these attacks look like and how do bad guys monetize today?
  • What about payment fraud? Could you score a payment session as well as a login session risk, or is that different?
  • How does this work with multi factor authentication?
