According to its Crunchbase profile, "NS8 is an abuse, fraud and user experience protection platform. They use behavioral analytics and real-time scoring to optimize and protect against threats."

The three-year-old startup has raised five previous funding rounds, including a $7.5 million seed round in 2017.

Over the past year, eight Las Vegas-based financial services companies have secured venture funding, totaling $37 million in new investment to the local industry.

In other local funding news, asset protection company Prime Trust announced a corporate round on March 28, financed by OK Group.

According to Crunchbase, "Prime Trust is a technology-driven trust company unlike anything else in existence. We are doing to the traditional trust industry what Paypal did to merchant processing; completely disrupting it by writing software that brings services to the masses and that business partners can build on top of."
