This is a more descriptive article on this funding round and what White Ops does. The company uses side channel analysis across an array of variables to detect behavioral differences between humans and bots.

Side-channel analysis generally refers to analyzing emitted signals like RF emissions and power consumption patterns to defeat crypto systems. So it's an interesting turn of phrase considering it's referring to analysis of 'variables', implying in-channel data, rather than signals.

Editing for disclosure, I recently started working at White Ops as a data scientist.
