SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smyte will host a webinar to help security analysts and trust and safety teams combat online fraud, abuse, and harassment. Smyte co-founders Pete Hunt and Julian Tempelsman, who have been on the frontlines battling fraud, spam, and online harassment since their time building Trust and Safety systems at Google and Facebook, will share insights and best practices gleaned from Smyte’s work with leading online properties such as Quora, Meetup, and TaskRabbit.
The webinar is scheduled for November 14 at 10:00 a.m. PST. Click here to register.
In the webinar, Hunt and Tempelsman will demonstrate how Smyte lowers fraud and abuse with its unique ability to blend signals from multiple data sources and product surface areas to pinpoint malicious actors. They will discuss specific customer use cases, including how Smyte helped a company with millions of monthly active users reduce spam and harassment by identifying unique signals indicating bad user behavior. Learn how Smyte’s technology powers the Trust and Safety programs of some of the world’s most popular websites and mobile apps.
“Attackers are constantly changing tactics–what worked in terms of fraud, spam and harassment prevention last year or even last week may not be effective today,” says Hunt. “Smyte uses an array of techniques, including manual heuristics, unsupervised anomaly detection and supervised machine learning, to analyze more than five billion online actions every month. This approach allows us to proactively identify malicious activity based on known signals, such as commonly used account profile pictures and trigrams.”
