BACKGROUND
Please describe your company and position.
I am the founder of a startup company
Describe what your company does in a single sentence.
Our startup bootstraps trust and legitimacy to the web in such a way that cybercriminals can no longer abuse the agnostic nature of the web.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire DataRoot Labs to accomplish?
We needed DataRoot Labs to build a system that would bring a market-driven allowlist (whitelist) capability to a Intelligence Sharing Platform. We wanted to use computer vision recognition of crawled pages of domains for block/takedown, to associate with the relevant trademark owners and inform them. This mix of allowlist and blocklist capabilities improves the overall robustness of our Intelligence Sharing Platform while reducing the business-related losses for our users/clients.
