About Sift:

In 2011, Sift disrupted the fraud prevention industry with a first-of-its-kind machine learning approach that accurately predicted fraud and defended against online abuse in real time.

Sift receives billions of events per month and analyzes vast streams of data in real time. Our platform hosts a powerful machine learning engine that allows us to detect and prevent fraud by analyzing nuanced combinations of signals buried in historic and real-time data.

Our approach combines speed, scale, and sophistication to deliver a unique, adaptive solution that allows our customers to accurately distinguish between the users they can trust, and those they can’t.
