Human Defense Platform

What it does

The Human Defense Platform is a bot management and online fraud prevention platform that classifies every digital interaction as a human, a bot, or an AI agent and applies trust decisions in real time across ads, accounts, and transactions. Its differentiating mechanism is telemetry scale: the platform verifies more than 20 trillion interactions weekly across 3 billion unique devices, and its Decision Engine examines 2,500+ signals per interaction with 400+ algorithms and adaptive machine learning models to return millisecond verdicts.

How it works

The platform deploys through edge and CDN integrations, load balancers and web servers, and application SDKs, streaming client-side and server-side signals to the Decision Engine. Named modules cover the customer journey: HUMAN Sightline Cyberfraud Defense detects and mitigates account takeover, fake accounts, scraping, and transaction abuse; AgenticTrust identifies AI agents by name, provider, and type and enforces per-agent allow, block, or monetize policies; Client-Side Defense inventories and controls browser scripts for PCI DSS requirements 6.4.3 and 11.6.1; and advertising protection filters invalid traffic pre-bid and post-bid. Responses range from hard blocks to the Human Challenge, a proprietary CAPTCHA alternative.
