Salary benchmarks
Our take
Forter provides new generation fraud prevention to meet the challenges faced by modern enterprise e-commerce. The system eliminates the need for rules, scores or manual reviews, making fraud prevention friction-free.
The result is fraud prevention that is invisible to buyers and empowers merchants with increased approvals, smoother checkout and the near elimination of false positives - meaning more sales and happier customers.
Behind the scenes, Forter’s machine learning technology combines advanced cyber intelligence with behavioural and identity analysis to create a multi-layered fraud detection mechanism.
The company had previously announced IPO plans; however, it has yet to move forward with this venture. Since its $300M investment round in 2021, the company has made several acquisitions, strengthening its fraud prevention solution stack.
