Distil Networks Acquires Are You a Human for Undisclosed Sum

Cybersecurity company Distil Networks announced it has acquired identity verification platform Are You a Human.

Are You a Human is the curator of The Verified Human Whitelist™, which allows anyone using it to be certain he or she is addressing a verified human before serving content, services or ads.

Instead of trying to identify and exclude bots, Are You a Human finds and verifies humans by analyzing natural user behavior across millions of websites. After it has consistently seen and verified a user as human, the person is added to the Whitelist™, and then re-verified repeatedly each day. Since bots are unable consistently to look and act like humans as they visit web pages, they are never added to the verification list — so that all who are left are real humans.
