Our take

Fraud is a multi-billion dollar problem for businesses of all sizes and, as more activity moves online, it can put a real dent in user trust. So fraud-prevention platforms, like that offered by Bolster (previously RedMarlin), have never been more crucial to operations.

Bolster uses artificial intelligence to automate the process of reviewing and categorizing sites to find fraudulent activity. With things such as phishing sites on the rise, this automated approach is future-ready for the changing needs of businesses.

Bolster’s team includes industry veterans from leading companies like McAfee, Cisco, and Symantec, so they have a wealth of hefty imported experience on board. In 2024, a new CEO was also brought on to lead the company into its next phase of growth.
