Mike Racic is best known as the co-founder and CEO of HUMAN Security (formerly White Ops), the cybersecurity company he helped build into the definitive industry standard for bot fraud detection and prevention. Since co-founding the company in 2012, Racic has led HUMAN Security to a position where it verifies the humanity of more than 20 trillion digital interactions per week, protecting some of the world's largest enterprises, internet platforms, and digital advertising ecosystems from sophisticated bot attacks, fraud, and account abuse. The company achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion, cementing its place as a foundational infrastructure provider for digital trust. Under Racic's leadership, HUMAN Security has been at the center of several landmark cybersecurity operations, including the takedowns of Methbot, 3ve, and ICEBUCKET — three of the largest and most sophisticated ad fraud operations ever dismantled. These operations, conducted in partnership with the FBI, Google, and other industry stakeholders, demonstrated the company's unique ability to combine threat intelligence with coordinated law enforcement action, fundamentally raising the cost of fraud in the digital ecosystem. Racic is widely regarded as a thought leader at the intersection of cybersecurity and digital advertising, regularly speaking at industry conferences and contributing to broader conversations about digital trust, bot mitigation, and the integrity of the open internet. His vision — that distinguishing human from bot traffic at scale is a solvable and essential problem — has shaped how the AdTech industry approaches fraud prevention and brand safety.
