Arco's Labs: Protecting User Logins and Thwarting Cyber Criminals

Arco's Labs, co-founded by Kevin Gosschalk in 2016, offers a solution to protect user logins and counter cyber criminals. The company focuses on preventing attacks primarily in the field of user authentication. Arco's Labs increases the cost and complexity for attackers by introducing friction and making the requests more expensive to carry out. They also decrease the value of what attackers are after and implement a risk-based approach to reward where lower-risk users receive fewer incentives. Additionally, they provide threat intelligence to help businesses identify attackers and discourage criminal behavior. Arco's Labs has successfully attracted major clients, including Twitter, and continues to address the evolving trends in cybercrime, such as the rise of cybercrime as a service.
