Generating worldwide recognition, the Golden Bridge Awards honor achievements and innovative contributions within the technology sector.

"ThreatMetrix is honored to be named a winner of two Golden Bridge Awards, which encompass recognition from every major industry in the world," said Reed Taussig, president and CEO, ThreatMetrix. "This esteemed industry and peer business award further validates our position as a global, forward-thinking leader in online fraud prevention solutions."
The innovative ThreatMetrix™ Cloud-Based Fraud Prevention Platform helps companies stop web fraud the first time, in real-time, so they can significantly reduce online fraud, acquire customers faster, reduce manual reviews costs, and increase customer satisfaction. ThreatMetrix provides the most effective first perimeter of defense for transaction security from cybercrime, hidden proxies, scripted attacks and cookie and browser manipulation by fraudsters.
Unlike simple device identification techniques that rely on cookies for recognizing previously profiled computers, ThreatMetrix provides a complete analysis of a device’s browser and packet fingerprint during account origination, login and payments. ThreatMetrix’s solution to cookieless device identification, called ThreatMetrix SmartID™, goes beyond simple device identification solutions by incorporating device fingerprint attributes instead of cookies, which can be wiped or blocked. ThreatMetrix SmartID, which incorporates unique TCIP/IP packet intelligence, cross correlates and scores device attributes and behavior with session and browser cookies to more accurately establish and authenticate a device identity.
More than 40 judges from a broad spectrum of industries around the world participated in determining this year’s winners. For a full list of the 2011 Golden Bridge Awards recipients, visit www.goldenbridgeawards.com/awards/2011/.
