Arkose Labs Bankrupts the Business of Fraud
As long as there is profit to be made, fraudsters will continue to attack with increasingly sophisticated methods of mimicking legitimate users. Arkose Labs sabotages bot and human-driven attacks by targeting the economic incentive driving attackers to the point where they give up. This is a fundamental shift from fraud prevention to fraud deterrence. Digital media platforms trust Arkose Labs to detect and deter attacks at the most targeted user touchpoints where account takeover, fake account creation, scraping, and spam originate. A dual-pronged approach of dynamic attack response and targeted enforcement challenges allows media and streaming companies to better differentiate between legitimate and malicious activity, while maintaining the convenience and usability that they’re known for.
