SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 27, 2013) - 41st Parameter, the leader in securing online relationships, today announced it has been selected by Cars.com, the award winning destination for car buyers, as its new primary fraud protection provider to help support the company's growing demands in an evolving market. 41st Parameter will empower Cars.com to enhance its approach to protecting its clients and advertisers, including car dealers, automotive manufacturers and affiliates from fraud.
Cars.com has long recognized the importance of fraud prevention to its business, its customers and its partners. When the company decided to reevaluate its approach to fraud prevention it had very clear requirements. It wanted a partner that was able to meet the needs of its expanding product set and growing ad volume, helping to further protect the Cars.com brand without impacting the user experience of the site. Cars.com also wanted to expand security for its growing base of mobile clients. Plus, the company wanted a system that was easy to understand and manage.
"Providing our clients and advertisers with the best user experience has always been our top priority," said Josh Chapman, vice president of operations, Cars.com. "We are also dedicated to combating fraud and ensuring the utmost security for our site visitors and customers. Partnering with 41st Parameter gives us an even greater ability to alleviate the risk of fraud with their proven and stable solution while preserving the site experience. We've also been able to deploy and manage the 41st solution independently and effectively. The move to 41st has been a welcome and positive addition for our business."
"Cars.com is a marquee brand, and we value the opportunity to help protect that brand and its customers from fraud," said Ori Eisen, founder and chief innovation officer of 41st Parameter.
