Darwinium is built for security and fraud leaders to better protect end user accounts without compromising online experience or privacy.
Digital account security remains an unsolved problem. Businesses are currently relying on legacy solutions that were built to protect high-risk touchpoints - such as onboarding or login - but are repeatedly breached by fraudsters targeting new vulnerabilities in the customer journey. The speed and efficacy of attacks have increased, facilitated by AI tooling and human click farms. Businesses are restricted by siloed systems, multiple disparate solutions, and privacy constraints that fraudsters bypass.
Darwinium is a cyberfraud prevention platform that unites digital security with fraud prevention to detect intent online. It provides complete visibility of user behavior across every digital touchpoint, giving businesses the agility and control to protect end user accounts from fraud, scams and abuse. Real-time analytics are combined with the ability to decision and act on intelligence immediately. One Darwinium customer protected 20 individual touchpoints, across 8 user journeys, in just 1 month, removing reliance on engineering resource to deploy new solutions.
The entire ecosystem is designed to maintain the privacy and security of end users, only ever using a truly anonymized version of encrypted data. This same data has been used to build proprietary “digital signatures”: a unique way to better recognize returning users based on their previous behaviors. This approach removes the reliance on fixed pieces of information relating to devices or identities which introduce high levels of friction and false positives. Another Darwinium customer increased returning user recognition to 99.95% using Darwinium’s digital signatures.
Prior to Darwinium, the co-founding team co-founded, built and scaled ThreatMetrix, the Digital Identity Company, that sold to LexisNexis Risk Solutions in 2018.

We're on a mission to teach the world to cloud. Why? Because we think the cloud means a brighter future for people and organizations.
Founded in 2015 by brothers Sam and Ryan Kroonenburg, A Cloud Guru (ACG) began as a single cloud certification course and has grown into the leader in cloud learning. We’ve helped over two million novices, gurus and everyone in between advance their career in the cloud, prepare for certification exams, and progress through learning paths to become gurus in digital and cloud innovation. Now, with the acquisition of Linux Academy in 2019, we’ve combined the current strengths and benefits of both companies to create a new and improved A Cloud Guru platform for modern tech skills. With a robust Learn-by-Doing experience, we’ve developed the most effective, hands-on, and comprehensive skills development platform for cloud learning in the world! And we’re only getting started!

The biggest and most powerful lever a business can use to increase online revenue is website speed. When pages load faster, visitors spend more time on-site, view more pages, add more to their baskets, abandon fewer baskets, and ultimately spend more. And that's not all: when website speed improves, so does brand perception, SEO success, and customer retention. If an online business has a slow website, it is wasting most of what it is spending to acquire traffic, as well as the time it is investing in Conversion Rate Optimisation projects (which are inevitably undermined by something as fundamental as poor website performance). If an online business already has a fast website, going faster will kick its revenues into overdrive - and who wouldn’t want to do that?
SKIPJAQ is the only company in the world to have successfully developed a machine learning engine which can automatically and quickly tune server settings to give websites a serious improvement in speed. SKIPJAQ’s optimiser is part of its unique ‘performance platform’, which also includes its revolutionary Continuous Performance Testing (CPT) product; SKIPJAQ uses this platform to ensure that its customers get fast - and stay fast. SKIPJAQ CPT is available to customers on a SaaS basis.
