**About the Team** DS team is spread across US, Amsterdam, Brazil, and India and is primarily focused on managing global losses across LoBs with real-time strategies. We balance loss rate with action rate to both make attackers pursue other avenues and allow good affected users to have proceed. The key questions we ask ourselves daily: "How exactly did this attacker bypass our layered defence?" and "What is the best sustainable way to prevent this from scaling?"
