The company's technology verifies human interactions and detects automated threats through its Human Verification Engine, which processes billions of transactions daily. The company's Satori Threat Intelligence and Research Team discovers, analyzes, and disrupts cybercrime operations throughout the digital landscape. This team has exposed major fraud schemes including BADBOX, VASTFLUX, Methbot, 3ve, ICEBUCKET, and PARETO, which collectively involved billions of fraudulent ad requests, millions of infected devices, and sophisticated botnets. Their investigations have led to collaborative takedowns with partners including Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and law enforcement agencies. HUMAN Security addresses multiple threat vectors including credential stuffing attacks, ad fraud, connected TV fraud, mobile app fraud, and account takeover attempts. The platform protects enterprises across advertising, e-commerce, financial services, and other digital businesses from automated attacks that compromise user accounts, generate fraudulent traffic, and abuse digital payment systems. The company embeds threat intelligence throughout its product suite, providing customers with insights derived from ongoing research into malicious actors and their techniques. Their approach combines real-time detection capabilities with proactive threat hunting to identify and disrupt fraud operations before they can scale. HUMAN Security's technology analyzes device behavior, network patterns, and transaction characteristics to distinguish between legitimate human users and automated bot traffic.
