【谷歌翻译 未经校对】总部位于特拉维夫的行为生物识别公司BioCatch Ltd.今天表示，已在C轮投资中筹集了1.45亿美元，使其总资金超过1.86亿美元。

The company, which was founded in 2011, operates a cloud service that collects and analyzes more than 2,000 cognitive parameters, which are a combination of characteristics and behaviors, to generate unique user profiles.

该公司成立于2011年，运营一项云服务，该服务收集并分析2,000多个认知参数，这些参数是特征和行为的组合，以生成唯一的用户配置文件。

The platform continuously authenticates users during online sessions to verify consistent behavior. That approach protects against difficult-to-detect cyberthreats such as account takeovers, hijacked remote access sessions and rat-in-the-browser attacks, in which a trojan inserts itself as an invisible middleman in a web interaction.

该平台会在在线会话期间持续验证用户身份，以验证行为是否一致。这种方法可以防止难以检测到的网络威胁，例如帐户接管，被劫持的远程访问会话和浏览器中的老鼠攻击，在这种威胁中，特洛伊木马会以隐身中间人的身份插入到网络交互中。

BioCatch has been awarded more than 70 patents for the techniques it uses to detect factors such as tremors and keystroke pressure that are useful in identifying sophisticated cyberattacks such as social engineering scams, device spoofing, malware, bots and remote access attacks. It says its system can identify anomalies in a session even when no profile exists, such as when a person applies for a credit card under an assumed identity.

BioCatch因其用于检测诸如震颤和击键压力等因素的技术而获得了70多项专利，这些技术可用于识别复杂的网络攻击，例如社会工程骗局，设备欺骗，恶意软件，机器人和远程访问攻击。它说，即使不存在任何配置文件，例如某人以假定的身份申请信用卡，其系统也可以识别会话中的异常情况。

“It compares what you do online with a personalized model of your past behavior and to our existing data set of 90 million behavioral profiles,” Chief Executive Howard Edelstein said in an interview in Traders Magazine last December. “If you logged into your bank account and had a friend sit down at your machine, within five seconds the bank would know that it’s no longer you operating the computer based on your friend’s online behavior alone.”

首席执行官霍华德•爱德斯坦（Howard Edelstein）去年12月在《交易者杂志》（Traders Magazine）接受采访时说：“它会将您在网上的行为与过去行为的个性化模型进行比较，并与我们现有的9000万行为概况数据进行比较。” “如果您登录了银行帐户并让一个朋友坐在您的计算机旁，那么五秒钟之内，银行就会知道不再仅仅根据朋友的在线行为来操作计算机。”

BioCatch said its approach has gained particular relevance during the current COVID-19 pandemic as large numbers of people have moved from relatively secure office settings to home environments. “The current environment has spawned a large increase in bad actors seeking to take advantage of distracted individuals working from home or dispersed companies whose technologists are scattered in remote locations,” Edelstein said in a statement.

BioCatch表示，在当前的COVID-19大流行中，由于大量人员已经从相对安全的办公室环境转移到家庭环境中，因此该方法具有特别的意义。Edelstein在一份声明中说：“当前的环境导致不良行为者大量增加，他们试图利用分散注意力的人在家工作或分散的公司工作，这些人的技术人员分散在偏远地区。”

The company signed its first e-commerce client last year and is planning to launch in the public sector in 2020. It said annual recurring revenue grew by 150% in 2019 and that more than 40 of the world’s largest global financial institutions have signed on as customers.

该公司于去年签署了其首个电子商务客户，并计划于2020年在公共部门启动。该公司表示，2019年年度经常性收入增长了150％，全球40多家最大的全球金融机构已签署该协议。顾客。

The funding round was led by Bain Capital LP’s Tech Opportunities fund with additional investments by Industry Ventures LLC and existing investors American Express Ventures, CreditEase Corp., Maverick Ventures Inc. and OurCrowd Ltd.

该轮融资由贝恩资本（Bain Capital LP）的Tech Opportunities基金牵头，Industry Ventures LLC和现有投资者American Express Ventures，CreditEase Corp.，Maverick Ventures Inc.和OurCrowd Ltd.进行了额外投资。
