Market will catch up. I used Apache beam and we got really creative. As with all things it’s an arms race.

Did not expect to see Apache Beam mentioned as part of this conversation. Mind me asking what you mean?

Apache beam is the underlying engine we use for fraud detection. Based on proprietary heuristics we can provide the application with a confidence score the user is legit. Its up to the sec/product teams to determine when specific actions need additional verification like one time token via email or captcha. Just two examples.
