What is reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA is a free service from Google that helps protect websites against spam and abuse by verifying whether a user is human. It employs an advanced risk analysis system and adaptive CAPTCHAs to keep automated software out of sites while allowing access to real users.

Why is reCAPTCHA important?

Online security is a priority for any organization, but it's especially critical for large enterprises and financial entities. These institutions handle sensitive information and are constantly under the threat of cyber attacks. Implementing reCAPTCHA helps mitigate these risks, ensuring that only legitimate users can take actions within the systems.

For large organizations and financial entities, a successful attack can result in significant financial losses, damage to reputation, and loss of customer trust. reCAPTCHA acts as a barrier that makes it difficult for malicious actors to automate mass attacks, such as automated form filling and submission for fraud or spam distribution.
