History and overview
Established in 2015 by Benjamin Fabre and Fabien Grenier, DataDome operates from its headquarters in New York City. The company’s platform utilizes machine learning combined with behavioral analytics to identify and block automated traffic by evaluating factors like IP reputation, device fingerprinting, and user activity. Its core offerings encompass bot detection, account security, fraud mitigation, and DDoS protection.
Financial growth includes a €2.5 million funding round in 2017 led by ISAI and 50 Partners Capital; a $35 million Series B round in 2021 spearheaded by Elephant; followed by a $42 million Series C round in 2023 led by InfraVia Growth.
In 2024, DataDome introduced Device Check, an invisible CAPTCHA alternative that detects bots through device signal analysis, alongside its Ad Protect and Account Protect products. Additionally, the company broadened its public bug bounty initiative in partnership with YesWeHack.
According to a 2024 study, 68% of websites in the U.S. do not have fundamental safeguards against automated attacks. DataDome supports integration with both cloud-based and on-premises environments such as Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud, strengthening defenses against cyber fraud across various infrastructures.
