Malicious
Bot Abuse

Our web application firewall blocks bots from systematically attacking Internet properties using custom rule sets.

Malicious bot abuse is growing in frequency, sophistication, and customer impact. The most common types of abuse include content scraping, fraudulent check-outs, and account takeover. Impacted companies can experience losses in customers and revenues, increases in operational costs, a damaged brand, and wasted marketing spend.

Websites and applications require the resilience and intelligence of a scalable network to combat malicious bot abuse. Protecting against threats should not degrade performance caused by security induced latencies, and security services must be easy to configure to eliminate misconfigurations, which introduce new vulnerabilities.

Content scraping bots steal information often used to create phishing sites, for competitors to offer lower pricing, and most commonly, stealing copyright materials and intellectual property. All of these actions will result in lost revenue, whether it’s from a malicious actor, or even from competitors.
