Welcome to the November edition of the Arcot podcast! In this episode, James Jenkins and Matt Cooke share the Arcot's peak shopping season readiness and the impressive results from our recent A/B testing of Arcot’s Smart Rulesets. For those new to the concept, Smart Rulesets are a game-changer in fraud prevention. Traditional manual rule writing is time-intensive, reactive, and often inefficient in combating sophisticated AI-driven fraud and bot attacks. Arcot’s Smart Rulesets leverage intelligence from across the Arcot Network, enabling a proactive, automated approach to fraud detection and prevention. This evolution transforms what was once a laborious, manual process into a streamlined, intelligent system. With results demonstrating a significant impact, we encourage all customers to review their outcomes and consider adopting this proactive solution as we move into 2025.
