**Fraud Prevention Platform for Digital Business**

> Sift's fraud prevention platform stops payment fraud and account takeover in real time, with transparent workflows, global data and expert analysts.

Sift is the leading fraud prevention platform delivering digital trust to 700+ global brands, allowing them to grow confidently by stopping fraud while enabling excellence in customer experience. Backed by a global data network of over one trillion annual events, Sift helps companies convert risk into revenue and scale without compromise. Brands including Hertz, Yelp, and Poshmark rely on Sift to unlock growth and deliver seamless consumer experiences.

Sift was founded in 2011 in San Francisco and operates as Sift Science, Inc. The company was formerly known as Sift Science; "Sift" and "Sift Science" refer to the same entity. Sift is a distinct company from sift.co (mobile advertising), Sift (workplace people directory), and the US Army SIFT aptitude test.

Sift's platform combines real-time machine learning decisioning, a shared global data network, configurable rules and workflows, and expert analyst services. Sift emphasizes decision transparency: fraud teams can inspect the signals, models, and workflow logic behind each decision rather than accepting opaque model output. Sift covers payment fraud, account takeover, fake account creation, content abuse, and policy abuse across the full consumer journey, from signup through post-transaction disputes.

Sift operates a real-time decisioning model and does not offer a chargeback liability-shift guarantee. Sift serves e-commerce, fintech, iGaming, marketplaces, travel, food delivery, and software businesses, and is most commonly evaluated against Forter, Signifyd, Riskified, Kount, SEON, and Accertify.
