Web Assembly, Rust are Helping Alisdair Faulkner Break Down Cybersecurity, Fraud Siloes
Excerpt from The Stack Interview with Alisdair Faulkner, CEO Darwinium

Alisdair Faulkner has been at the coal face of trying to tackle this problem for a long time. ThreatMetrix, the company he co-founded, then ran product development for, grew into a $100m ARR player in in the fraud detection industry, working to protect one billion global accounts across four billion devices for the world’s largest global banks and brands, before being acquired by LexisNexis for some $830 million in 2018.
