"Bots are smart enough to solve CAPTCHAs. Bots are able to come from reputable IPs and mimic the speed of a human being. Bots are capable of doing things human beings would never be capable of doing, like monetizing very small amounts of money through gift card fraud or promotion fraud. When they do it a million times, that eventually adds up.
I’m a real huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, I love anything written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Here at Shape I get to be a part of the murder mystery without being too dangerously close to the murder itself. I get to see how companies are being defrauded and help them stop the fraud. What’s great about being at Shape is we’re the only game in town for defending websites against sophisticated bots, which means we get to see the most interesting crooks. The most sophisticated crooks out there are all using advanced bots that traditional security can’t block."
