Founded in 2014 by three Israeli expats, PerimeterX develops an artificial intelligence-based system that acts to identify and block malicious bots in the cloud, on the web or on mobile networks, in order to prevent the spread of phishing and fraud attempts, fake news, identity theft and other threats. The technology can be installed on company websites without impacting performance or requiring system changes.
