About the free webinar

I’m a fraudster, and you guys think you have me cornered. You have your bot detection capabilities, your device fingerprinting, and even your digital identity intelligence to help detect when I hit your website with a brute force attack and some stolen credentials. Well let me let you into a little secret. You don’t. I know your tactics, and when I don’t, I figure them out and I pivot my attacks. Think you can stop me? Try.

Ok dude, I’ll take you on. I’m a fraud guy too but I like to find all those loopholes you exploit and close them. I’m looking for ever-more innovative ways to detect and stop your attacks. And I reckon I can take you on. So give it to me and let’s see what you’ve got.

Join this live hackathon for a real time face-off between an “adversary” armed with the latest toolkit of genuine ATO tactics experienced by Apollo.io, and a fraud defender using his best innovations to attempt to thwart him. There’ll be a series of account takeover attempts, increasing in complexity, that will test our fraud fighter to the limits.

Here's what you'll learn:

Real-world tactics, MOs and evolving AI-driven attack patterns of account takeover attacks targeting Apollo.io and other merchants.

An in-depth analysis of AI-native mitigation strategies that work, as well as some that don’t.

Some best practice approaches to anticipate the next wave of attacks.
