Led by Ted Ross, CEO and co-founder, SpyCloud is the leader in account takeover (ATO) prevention, protecting billions of employee and consumer accounts either directly or through product integrations. Its solutions – supported by a comprehensive and actionable repository of exposed assets – proactively defeat fraud attempts and damage the criminals’ ability to profit from stolen information.

“Criminals work together to steal information and find creative ways to monetize it. As a result, even the most careful and sophisticated organizations are vulnerable. SpyCloud will continue to pursue new and innovative ways to stay ahead of criminals and provide solutions that make the internet a safer place for individuals and businesses,” stated Ted Ross, SpyCloud CEO and co-founder.

“SpyCloud’s approach to fraud prevention is helping businesses protect themselves and their customers at a time when threats are more pervasive than we’ve ever seen. We heard from major financial institutions and a wide range of enterprises that SpyCloud’s solutions are critically important to their anti-fraud efforts. We’re proud to help them continue the fight and discover new ways to protect both companies and consumers from these evolving threats,” said Eric Byunn.
