Shape Security: Preventing Credential Stuffing Attacks

Today's increasingly digital enterprise environment means that businesses must combat more threats than ever. However, it's not just the new generation of threats that they need to worry about. Organisations must also consider the threats that have stood the test of time. In particular, credential stuffing is one that has persisted over the years. Unfortunately, the misunderstandings surrounding it makes it all-the-more difficult to mitigate. In this podcast, Shuman Ghosemajumder, CTO at Shape Security, lends his expertise on the matter of credential stuffing. Firstly, he recaps what credential stuffing is and why it is still prevalent to this day. Then, he discusses the impact it has on companies and the best ways for them to mitigate the risks.

Shape was founded in 2011 to disrupt automated attacks on web and mobile applications and now protects more accounts from fraud than everyone else in the world combined. We believe that criminal organizations function based upon economics, just like other businesses, and that if we can help our customers shift the economic burden onto those attackers, that we can cause them to go after other targets. We cause this shift by making it so expensive for attackers to understand how to our customers' applications, that they give up and go after softer targets. Everyone at Shape is passionate about fighting crime on the Internet.
