 The Threats The problems and threats faced by any company on the Internet today are almost too numerous and complex to count. Some of the most urgent problems are:
The Problem  Nearly every transaction involving human beings on the Internet is at risk for being fraudulent. Hackers, SPAMmers, and scammers steal identities, hijack accounts, and create fraudulent user names, which leads to stolen technology, increased SPAM campaigns, and compromised game play. This problem is growing rapidly, because bots and similar systems are cheaply scalable, replicating themselves and infecting both personal and enterprise computers. Web property owners must start combating these malicious entities by first recognizing friend from foe, and then finding an efficient method of invisibly verifying the presence of human customers — without adding extra steps for the user — which is robust enough to maintain a high level of online security.
