For Rupert Young \u201995, SM \u201995, his career in data science and cybersecurity began when his grandfather gifted him thousands of stamps: He built intricate databases to catalogue them, displaying the \u201cprecise eye\u201d for detail and nuance that his MIT application essay said would make him a good engineer.<\/p>\n
Young is now chief product officer of \u00adMaxMind, whose work with IP-address location data and fraud prevention has made it a go-to resource. Streaming companies, security vendors, merchants, and ad-network providers use its signature tool, GeoIP, to determine how and where users are accessing services. This information makes it possible to ensure retail sites are using the correct currency, flag suspicious bank logins, and more.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
