HUMAN Security

A top-tier bot mitigation and ad fraud prevention provider, recognized for technical depth, large-scale threat intelligence, and active fraud disruption operations in partnership with law enforcement.

HUMAN Security, formerly known as White Ops, is a leading cybersecurity company specializing in bot mitigation, fraud prevention, and the protection of digital interactions across advertising, marketing, and enterprise applications. Founded in 2012, the company uses a combination of machine learning, technical evidence collection, and behavioral analysis to verify the humanity of online interactions at massive scale — analyzing trillions of interactions per week to distinguish humans from bots and fraudulent actors. The company's core platform, the Human Defense Platform, addresses threats including sophisticated bot attacks, ad fraud (impression fraud, click fraud, domain spoofing), account takeover, and fake account creation. HUMAN serves a broad range of customers including digital publishers, advertisers, ad platforms, and enterprise security teams. Their work extends beyond detection to active disruption of fraud operations, and they have collaborated with the FBI and industry partners on high-profile botnet takedowns such as 3ve and PARAGON. In 2021, White Ops rebranded to HUMAN Security following a period of significant growth and the acquisition of PerimeterX, which expanded their capabilities into application security and bot management for e-commerce and web applications. Backed by investors including Goldman Sachs and NightDragon, HUMAN has established itself as one of the most technically credible and respected players in the ad fraud and bot mitigation space, competing with companies like DoubleVerify, Integral Ad Science, and Cloudflare.
