Bot, AI Agent, and Fraud Defense Across Enterprise User Journeys

Arkose Labs builds fraud prevention and bot detection technology for enterprises whose sign-up, sign-in, and in-platform flows are targeted by automated abuse. Founded and led by Kevin Gosschalk, the company serves Fortune 500 brands and fintechs across banking, gaming, travel, e-commerce, and telecommunications. Its stated mission is making trust the default state of the internet, giving businesses real-time visibility into whether a given visitor is a genuine person, a legitimate AI agent, or an adversary, without penalizing real customers.

The product line consolidates under Arkose Titan, a unified platform sharing one session infrastructure across Bot Manager, Agent Trust Manager, Device ID, Email Intelligence, Phishing Protection, and the server-side Arkose Edge API layer. Traffic is scored against more than 225 risk signals plus threat data drawn from the Arkose Global Intelligence Network, then routed to graduated enforcement rather than a binary block, using adaptive interactive challenges that escalate in difficulty as an attacker persists. Integration is a single API call.

What distinguishes the approach is its economic framing: rather than passively filtering traffic, challenges are designed to drain attacker ROI by making sustained automated attacks computationally and financially unprofitable. A 24/7 security operations team tunes defenses in real time as attack patterns shift. More recently the positioning has moved toward the agentic era, classifying AI agent traffic so legitimate automation can transact while coordinated fraud rings are stopped. Recognition includes five consecutive years on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500.
