In the last 12 months, Arkose Labs prevented more than $100M in would-be fraud and serves companies in the online marketplaces, travel, banking, social media and online gaming sectors.

"The fraud landscape is rapidly evolving, and companies around the world are in a digital arms race against cybercriminals who have unprecedented access to sophisticated technology and tools to commit fraud. In a market aturated with fraud prevention technology solutions, it's an honor to be recognized for our leadership and innovation," said Kevin Gosschalk, CEO of Arkose Labs.
