The opponents are no longer script kiddies -- they’re just as smart and capable as any of us, and their attacks are evolving in both scale and sophistication. As the world becomes more connected, this problem only worsens. We’re building a large-scale machine learning system paired with elegant visualization/UI tools to help ecommerce businesses take a stand. We’re literally fighting bad guys, and have big plans beyond fraud.<p>Our team includes several ex-Googlers with experience spanning e-commerce analytics, search quality, ads quality, and speech recognition.
