Innovator Spotlight: HUMAN

During my conversation with Lindsay Kaye, VP of Threat Intelligence at HUMAN Security, she emphasized how HUMAN tackles some of the most complex and overlooked threats in today’s digital landscape. HUMAN specializes in bot detection, account fraud prevention, advertising fraud mitigation, and ensuring online security by distinguishing between real users and sophisticated bots.

HUMAN Security is a leader in bot detection and mitigation, safeguarding web applications and APIs from cyber threats. Their approach combines advanced behavioral signals, intelligent fingerprinting, and machine learning to detect and block bot traffic without compromising the user experience. Whether it’s preventing account takeovers, credential stuffing, or ad fraud, HUMAN’s solutions ensure that only real humans are interacting with your digital assets. Their Satori Threat Intelligence and Research Team plays a critical role in uncovering and neutralizing bot-driven threats before they can cause significant damage.

HUMAN offers a comprehensive platform that focuses on internet observability, collective protection, and actionable threat intelligence. By leveraging these capabilities, they enable businesses to protect their customers, secure sensitive data, and improve operational efficiency. One standout feature of HUMAN is its ability to verify the humanity of interactions across various industries, from advertising and e-commerce to healthcare and financial services. This is achieved through real-time bot detection that safeguards against fake accounts, data contamination, and other forms of cyber abuse.

In one notable case, a global e-commerce company faced significant challenges with bots infiltrating their systems, leading to account takeovers that affected customer trust and operational performance. After implementing HUMAN’s bot mitigation solution, coupled with Fastly’s security suite, the company was able to stop these attacks in their tracks. This not only protected customer accounts but also improved the company’s brand reputation and digital purchasing experience. HUMAN’s defense strategies disrupted the cybercriminal organizations behind these attacks, ensuring a more secure and efficient online environment.

HUMAN Security provides organizations with the tools needed to defend against modern bot-driven threats, ensuring that businesses can protect their data, customers, and brand integrity. With HUMAN’s advanced bot detection and mitigation technologies, companies are better equipped to prevent fraud and secure their digital ecosystems.
