Mitigating Evolving
Threats in the Marketplace
Marketplace Risk Management Conference
In this exclusive interview, Jack Gashi from CHEQ and Chris Horne from Upwork sit down to share their perspectives on the evolving landscape of online threats and marketplace security — from bot-driven fraud to the structural shifts required to stay ahead.
What you’ll learn in this session
- How bots and fake traffic are disrupting online marketplaces — and the challenge of shifting from reactive to proactive fraud defense
- Why AI is lowering the barrier to entry for fraudsters — and what platforms can do to prepare
- The critical role of vendor collaboration, shared intelligence, and legislative change in building sustainable marketplace security
- Why understanding the root causes of fraudulent behavior is essential — not just detecting symptoms
Looking ahead: mitigating risks within marketplaces
Jack and Chris explore the accelerating pace of risk in online ecosystems — and why marketplace security demands continuous evolution, cross-industry cooperation, and a mindset shift from one-off detection to long-term strategy.
