adCAPTCHA, a new specialist security verification platform, has launched with £1m funding to tackle the ‘bots epidemic’ and protect organizations against cyber fraud.
The London-based company, founded by industry veteran and entrepreneur Alfie Scarborough, equips organizations with the capability to identify and block bots through its sophisticated in-house developed patent-pending human verification technology.

It is estimated that 50 percent of global web traffic is made up of bots, with leading brands losing millions every day due to fraudulent views and impressions from non-existent customers.
Human verification process
The platform has been crafted to allow marketers and branding professionals to protect against online fraud, with bot-enabled false impressions repeatedly draining marketing budgets and resources.
adCAPTCHA also allows brands to optimize the human verification process for advertising and cross-selling new products and services. The platform’s APIs also provide users with the ability to integrate into CMS and media libraries.

Era of Human Verification Technology
Alfie Scarborough, founder and CEO of adCAPTCHA said: “The verification market is plagued by poorly performing products that fail to accurately distinguish between bots and humans. The status quo leaves brands open to major cyber-attacks, unlimited spam as well as decimated marketing budgets."
"Our offering will change all that – giving brands a comprehensive solution to identify and block bots, while empowering dynamic brand advertising to engage customers. Our mission is to usher in a new era of human verification technology and set the industry standard for the future.”
