A new stamp on cyberfraud prevention
Rupert Young, chief product officer at MaxMind, leverages his data-science background—originally honed cataloguing his grandfather’s stamp collection—to develop GeoIP, a signature IP-address location service used by streaming platforms, security vendors, merchants, and ad networks for currency selection, login fraud detection, and related security checks. Young also mentors students at his children’s California high school while guiding MaxMind’s product team to uncover data patterns and solve complex problems.
