Company mission
To SHIELD the world from online fraud.
63% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Founded in 2008, SHIELD set out to be the global go to in fraud protection by using AI technology to protect online businesses from current and future threats.
So far, it has proved successful - SHIELD is trusted globally by enterprises such as Razer, Alibaba, and BEAT, highlighting the effectiveness of its risk intelligence solutions. The company has emphasised the importance for consumers of trusting in the businesses they deal with, and so its solutions allow companies to maintain this critical relationship. With 60% of small to medium sized companies going out of business within 6 months of a fraud attack, this illustrates how damaging a breach can be and, therefore, how important SHIELD's solutions are within this market.
The company has grown at a rapid rate globally, with significant funding earmarked for growing its Bangalore office and expanding it's unique mobile-first approach, which sets it apart in the fraud prevention industry.
