How they describe themselves: RobotDough is a small software company focused on creating better analytical tools for individual investors. We recognize that, although there are many tools available to active traders – tools that focus on technical analysis, charting and attempts to predict the market – there are very few tools that help individuals perform detailed fundamental analysis of companies. Our goal is to take the best ideas from very expensive, professional-grade equity research tools and package them in a format that is suitable for any investor. We hope that our analytical tools help investors make higher profits while reducing their overall investment risk.
How they describe their product/innovation: RobotDough provides online analytical tools for stock market investors. These tools are focused on providing the thoughtful, value-focused investor with the tools they need to perform a complete financial analysis of investment candidates, without needing an MBA or CFA. In addition, RobotDough allows users to build, test, and share investment strategies. Our strategy builder has a backtesting tool that allows a user to test an investment strategy against historical financial and market data. Strategy builders can share their strategies with the rest of the community. Users who don’t care to build their own strategies can use the strategy marketplace to find strategies suitable for their risk tolerance, and then subscribe to them. RobotDough’s toolset covers the global market – we have over 45,000 companies in our database, covering 99% of the world’s market capitalization.

How they describe themselves: Silver Tail Systems, Inc. is the leading provider of predictive security analytics for fraud detection and prevention to identify and remediate online threats in real-time. Our products deliver complete visibility and control to protect e-commerce websites, online financial institutions, government and Web 2.0 websites.

The addition of user-specific behavior analytics addresses additional types of attacks, makes the population-based monitoring of the Forensics solution even stronger, maintains a small hardware footprint, and still has a time-to-value measured in hours.

How they describe themselves: Silver Tail Systems provides next generation fraud prevention to protect websites from various types of attacks. Silver Tail Systems’ products use behavior analytics to detect and alert on known threats and emerging threats like Man in the Browser, Zeus, and attacks by organized crime, then enable the business to disrupt these attacks in real-time. Founded by fraud prevention experts from eBay and PayPal, Silver Tail Systems significantly reduces online fraud losses, protects websites, and increases customer trust.
How they describe their product/innovation: Silver Tail Systems is debuting our new product: Forensics MT: the multi-tenancy version of our Forensics product.
Our Forensics product analyzes web session behavior to detect emerging threats. How can we make Forensics more powerful? Instead of monitoring the behavior of web sessions for one bank, monitoring the web session behavior across multiple banks makes suspicious activity even more obvious. This is the power multi-tenancy brings to our new product: Forensics MT. Since Forensics MT monitors sessions for banking aggregators, the analytics engine receives much more data, determines normal behavior more quickly, and identifies suspicious behavior immediately.
