> To be successful in tomorrow

If you’re an e-commerce merchant, you’ve hopefully been reaping the benefits of consistent growth in sales: The U.S. e-commerce market alone has reported [year-over-year growth](https://www.kleinerperkins.com/perspectives/internet-trends-report-2018) in 2017 of 16%, up from 14% in 2016. If that number looks small, consider this: That 16% translates into total online sales of approximately [$450 billion](https://www.kleinerperkins.com/perspectives/internet-trends-report-2018).

But with this opportunity for revenue comes an increased risk of fraud.
