Our take

Founded in 2007, SHIELD set out to become the global leader in fraud protection, leveraging AI technology to safeguard online businesses from both current and future threats.

It's proven a success, earning the trust of major enterprise like Razer, Alibaba, and BEATS, which showcases the effectiveness of tis risk intelligence solutions. The company emphasizes the importance of consumer trust for businesses and provides solutions that help maintain these crucial relationships.

With 60% of small to medium-sized businesses folding within six 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 rapidly expanded globally and is using funding to enhance its unique mobile-first approach, further setting itself apart in the fraud prevention industry.
