What Arkose Labs does

Arkose Labs is a private fraud prevention company founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Mateo, California, that protects Fortune 500 enterprises and leading fintechs from bots, AI agents, and human fraud networks. The company's core offering is Arkose Titan, a unified fraud prevention platform that coordinates bot detection, device intelligence, email intelligence, API security, behavioral biometrics, and phishing protection through a single API call. The platform employs AI-resistant MatchKey challenges and an economic deterrence model that makes attacks financially unviable for perpetrators rather than relying solely on detection and blocking. Named customers include Microsoft, Adobe, Meta, Expedia, Roblox, Dropbox, and Hotels.com, with the company targeting five primary verticals: Banking & Fintech, Gaming & iGaming, Travel & Hospitality, E-commerce & Retail, and Technology & Telco.

The company generates revenue through enterprise subscription licenses (annual or multi-year agreements with Fortune 500 enterprises and top fintechs) supplemented by usage-based API pricing tied to transaction or assessment volume. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with direct engagement of Fortune 500 buyers, supported by a 24/7 embedded Security Operations Center and strategic distribution partnerships including Microsoft Azure Marketplace and native Microsoft Entra integration. The company has raised $114 million in total funding, with a $70 million Series C led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2 in May 2021, and has been recognized on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 for five consecutive years and as a Strong Performer in the Forrester Wave 2026 for Bot and Agent Trust Management.

Arkose Labs has invested heavily in AI-native product capabilities, most notably the Agent Trust Manager launched in 2026 that classifies AI-driven agentic traffic as customer, authorized agent, or adversary in real time. The company operates with 101-250 employees globally, with established offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and stated presence across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. Certifications include ISO 27001:2022 and GDPR compliance under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, supporting enterprise procurement requirements across regulated industries.
