SHARING ECONOMY

Arkose Labs Solution for the Sharing Economy

It’s critical for sharing economy platforms to root out malicious activity without placing too much burden on good users. The usability and seamless experience of these services makes them appealing, an experience that should not be lost in the process of fighting cybercrime.

Arkose Labs technology is tough on bots and human criminals—but easy on legitimate users. We take a zero-trust approach to all traffic. Since data has been corrupted at scale, digital identities cannot be reliably trusted. Our platform protects all user interactions on P2P websites and apps using a combination of risk profiling and enforcement challenges.

Using a variety of digital “telltales” analyzed in real-time, Arkose Labs can accurately distinguish between bot traffic, human attackers, and good users. This data is supplemented with intelligence from across our vast network, meaning criminal activity already spotted elsewhere will be automatically flagged before it attacks your website. Suspicious traffic is faced with a step-up authentication challenge that is near-impossible for bots to solve, thereby sapping the time and resources of digital attackers. Good users will rarely see it, and if they do, the challenge can be solved in less than three seconds.

Arkose Labs prides itself on a high level of client service. The engagement does not end after implementation. Rather, it is an ongoing partnership, with a dedicated managed services team ready to help clients analyze and problem-solve any concerns that may arise and provide answers quickly.

Conclusion

Trust is the key component that makes the sharing economy financially viable. Users must have confidence that the platforms they are using have thoroughly vetted everyone on it. Arkose Labs protects users in the digital world from all forms of online abuse, enabling you to provide a trusted platform to facilitate P2P transactions.

With precise, data-driven analysis to segment traffic, good users pass through and don’t have to deal with any disruption to the seamless experience they have come to know when using digital P2P platforms. At the same time, the appropriate step-up challenges are delivered to bots or malicious human traffic, with the ultimate intent of making it economically unwise for criminals to attack the site. This approach stops malicious activity both at the point of attacks, as well as further downstream.
