After the company all owners wanted to do was go back and restart the work but in the past few months, the company has witnessed unprecedented growth and reached unimaginable heights.
E-commerce is a sector that has only shown growth in the past few years. There has been an influx of customers and also a demand for security when it comes to transactions.
Technically the more transactions are made, the more will be incidents of online fraud and that’s where the prospect of Forter comes in.
Forter started its work in late 2012 by monitoring activities of suspicious sites. It would track out bots and their behaviors. However, in more recent years the company’s work has gotten complex and gained sophistication.
Porter’s model is turning out to be a success. Customers of Forter have noticed a drop of 80% in incidents of fraud in their E-commerce startups. And their business has gone up after getting fortified.
