Transcript context

…Presumably NATO countries, Australia? Should be better, but I mean, no. I mean, we should go walk around a strip mall and I could probably point out 80% of the cameras are Chinese-manufactured, and your average would-be business owner is like, "Yeah, I got it for 15 bucks on Amazon. " I don't know if you know that story on the vacuum cleaners, but someone hacked into it, it's like… You should care about where your data is stored and who's storing it, and that kind of stuff matters to me, but not everyone. That makes sense. As we've learned from Flock Safety, fighting crime is most effective with network data on your side. The same is true for payment fraud. Most businesses only see their own transactions, which makes it very hard to spot patterns and prevent future attacks. But Stripe Radar tackles fraud using the power of the Stripe network. Our machine learning models train on hundreds of billions of data points across the $2 trillion of payments we see on the Stripe network each year. When new fraud patterns emerge, our models can quickly learn and start blocking similar attacks immediately. So if you want to fight fraud like Flock Safety fights crime, check out Stripe Radar. As I think about your competitive landscape in the US and companies that sell to law enforcement, I think about Axon—which people would associate with making the body cameras, but they make lots of it and Tasers, I think, but they make lots of other stuff—and then Motorola Solutions, which has kind of the radios and the get-up in the cars and things like that. Are you three the main three players? Are there others I should be thinking about, and how will it... Presumably you guys compete over time?…
