Exactly in line with an initiative by a company called Are You A Human, Imperva wants to take the tedium and annoyance out of CAPTCHA and turn it into a game. Not only will these be more engaging for users, but they’ll also be nearly unhackable. There are already programs that exist that can hack many CAPTCHA providers. So Imperva believes that by forcing users to play a very quick micro-game, it’s a win-win.
“Human-based CAPTCHA solving services pose a serious threat to Web security and challenge the whole concept of CAPTCHAs. They were originally intended to distinguish humans from computers, but now automated software is using actual humans to cheat the test and pass as humans. This challenges even the most innovative efforts,” said Imperva.
