## Description

Intuition Machines Inc. is the owner and sole provider of the hCaptcha verification service which provides CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) security checks for web applications. This service is widely used on web applications to keep out spam and abuse by determining whether visitors to a web application are humans or bots. hCaptcha is currently integrated with some of EOIR’s most heavily used public facing web applications.

A significant investment in time, money, and resources would be required to replace the hCaptcha service with another verification product. Other than hCaptcha the other main product on the market that provides a similar level of CAPTCHA services is Google’s reCAPTCHA service.

Research showed that hCaptcha Enterprise gives admins more control over the difficulty level needed for sites and does a better job of protecting users' privacy than reCAPTCHA. hCaptcha Enterprise has all the features of reCAPTCHA, but also provides more advanced custom threat models and better privacy technology that makes compliance with privacy rules easier to achieve without impacting application security
