ST. LOUIS, April 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Perficient will host a Mark Cuban Foundation Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamp for high school students at No-Cost for a 3rd time in the Fall of 2023. The AI Bootcamp in St. Louis will be targeted at underserved high school students (9th-12th grade) and will introduce these high school students to basic AI concepts and skills.

Perficient is one of 28+ host companies selected to host camps across the US in Fall 2023.

The Perficient Bootcamp will be held over four consecutive Saturdays starting on October 14th and ending on November 4th. The bootcamp will run each Saturday from 1-5pm CT and if accepted, high school students must commit to attending all 4 sessions.

The student and parent application are now open at markcubanai.org/perficientstlpr. Students do not need any prior experience with computer science, programming, or robotics to apply and attend.

With AI being a relevant topic on many news sources, students will learn what artificial intelligence is and is not, where they already interact with AI in their own lives, and the ethical implications of AI systems including but not limited to TikTok recommendations, smart home assistants, facial recognition, and self-driving cars to name a few. Participants will also learn how Large Language Models like ChatGPT are changing life as we know it by answering questions, telling original stories, and even writing computer code.

Students will benefit from volunteer corporate mentor instructors who are knowledgeable about AI, ML and data science and able to help students quickly understand material normally taught at a collegiate level. As part of the 4-hour curriculum, students will work with open source tools each day to build their own AI applications related to Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing and Generative AI.

The Mark Cuban Foundation provides the bootcamp’s curriculum materials, trains corporate volunteer mentors, and recruits and scores applications for local student selected to attend camp. In addition, the Mark Cuban Foundation and Perficient work together to provide food, transportation, and access to laptops for students at no-cost throughout the duration of Bootcamp.

“It was a lot of fun, I learned things I didn’t even know were possible with A.I. and their real-world applications showed me just how much it will change our world.”
– Brandon B., 10th Grade, 2022 AI Bootcamp Participant

Founded by Mark Cuban in 2019, the AI Bootcamp initiative has hosted no-cost AI bootcamps for students across several US cities, including Dallas, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Atlantic City to name a few. The Mark Cuban Foundation has impacted 900+ students to date and has a goal to increase that number year over year.

Students interested in applying to the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamp should do so before Friday, September 8th, 2023 at markcubanai.org/perficientstlpr. To see our 2023 camp locations and to learn more about the Mark Cuban Foundation AI Bootcamps, please visit markcubanai.org/faq.

Powering Censys’ Internet Intelligence Platform, the Internet Map provides critical insights to identify, understand and mitigate threats
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Censys, the leading Internet Intelligence Platform for threat hunting and exposure management, announced the Censys Internet Map. As the data foundation that powers the Censys Internet Intelligence Platform, the Censys Internet Map provides users with the most comprehensive, up-to-date collection of global internet infrastructure to empower security and intelligence teams.

In today’s threat landscape, enterprises cannot rely on “good enough” data to defend their organization. Security teams require comprehensive and accurate data to serve as the center for their security solutions – external attack surface management, vulnerability management, zero-trust, and threat detection, investigation, and response – all rely on exposure management data to protect organizations.
The Censys Internet Map offers the fastest discovery and best coverage of internet hosts and services. Through comprehensive scans of the top 100+ ports and proprietary ML-based discovery of services across 65k ports, it reduces false positives by 70%, improving security teams’ ability to successfully map and defend. With the most complete and up-to-date index of hosts and services on the internet, the Censys Internet Map provides users with the three C’s: Coverage, Context and Connections, which are imperative to an organization’s security posture.
“The organizations we work with face growing challenges that make security insights and threat intelligence critically important to delivering on their mission,” commented Mike Riordan, CEO of RavenTek. “Through the powerful capabilities of Censys solutions powered by their Internet Map, our clients are better able to stay ahead of emerging risks, proactively defend their organization, and quickly make data-informed decisions.”
With the widest depth of internet scanning coverage available, the Censys Internet Map scans 45x more services than competitors. This coverage is enriched with detailed context to identify host types, understand how assets are connected and configured, empowering security teams and threat hunters to identify patterns and trends.
“Censys is the only vendor providing this level of detailed visibility and running daily scans to help organizations eliminate false positives and stale data,” said Zakir Durumeric, Co-Founder and Chief Scientist at Censys. “Our intelligence provides threat analysts and security teams with more details to conduct investigations, understand, and block threats – ultimately reducing the risk and impact of a breach. We’re proud that our industry-leading data provides the most complete and up-to-date index of the internet, and are excited to expand this offering for even more users this year.”

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Onfido, the global automated identity verification provider, has been recognized as a market leader in Liminal’s highly anticipated Link™Index Report for Account Opening in Financial Services.

The Link Index analyzed over 150 companies claiming to solve Account Opening (AO) in Financial Services and found that only 32 total vendors (21% of the market) have the necessary product capabilities to satisfy buyer demands.  Of these 32 companies, Liminal positioned Onfido as a leading vendor alongside partners Experian and TransUnion (p.11), acknowledged for delivering comprehensive solutions in compliance and fraud prevention for account opening. The report also highlighted that 20% of buyers are actively looking to switch to a better AO vendor.
Download the full report and sign up for the webinar with Liminal examining the latest developments in account openings for financial services.
Fraud prevention and compliance are top of mind for buyers when weighing new solutions. By the end of 2023, it is estimated that $2.2B will be lost to AO fraud from synthetic identities, and with increasing regulation, AML fines are only set to increase from their high of $5B issued last year.*
Onfido was acknowledged as a leader on Liminal’s matrix, scored by Market Presence and Product Execution. Onfido achieved a positive global market presence score of 4.3/5 and a product execution score of 72%, closest to TransUnion, an Onfido partner. Onfido was also noted as a leader in the AO space by 44.9% of respondents and was a recognized brand by over half of buyers, solidifying Onfido as a top company in both these categories. And thanks to its dedicated customer success team, Onfido’s customer satisfaction score was 60.4%, making it a top ten vendor in this category.
“The financial services sector is undergoing a transformative shift in account opening practices, necessitating robust security measures that seamlessly integrate with user experience while adhering to rigorous regulatory requirements,” said Travis Jarae, founder and CEO at Liminal. “Onfido’s Real Identity Platform addresses these challenges, ensuring a streamlined “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance process during customer onboarding, while ensuring best-in-class fraud prevention.”
The Onfido Real Identity Platform is designed to secure trust between organizations and their customers throughout the customer lifecycle journey. It automatically verifies a customer’s identity using a smart combination of award-winning document and biometric verification, trusted data sources, and passive fraud signals. Hailed by companies like Adyen, EE (BT), Bunq, DocuSign, Revolut and Remitly, Onfido helps global companies reduce friction and accelerate onboarding for customers with purpose-built features and its Smart Capture SDK, while providing companies the flexibility and freedom to scale with Onfido Studio, the no-code mission control for identity verification.
“Our recognition in Liminal’s Link Index Report underscores Onfido’s commitment to transforming the financial services landscape,” said Mike Tuchen, CEO of Onfido. “Our identity platform empowers financial institutions to more easily navigate complex regulations on a global and regional level while stopping fraudsters and ensuring the best possible user experience.”
This news comes on the heels of other market recognition from Frost & Sullivan, awarding Onfido 2023 Fraud Detection and Prevention Company of the Year,  picking up 7 leader badges in G2’s 2023 Fall Reports, as well as a Strong Performer in Forrester’s Q4 2022 Wave for Identity Verification Solutions.
