Distributed Cloud Bot Defense Use Cases
Your business runs on beautiful frictionless app experiences. Attackers and bots don’t care. The most sophisticated attackers will retool against all countermeasures, using techniques that emulate human behavior to evade detection. Your security must maintain resilience and effectiveness to protect businesses from cybercrime that can lead to unauthorized access, account takeover, and fraud.
Our bot engines use advanced obfuscation in real-time to stop attacker retooling efforts, in their tracks!
We use signal telemetry with rigorous precision to discriminate against bots and attackers to protect your business, apps, and customers.
BIG-IP and NGNIX native bot-defense integration points, including physical, virtual, on-prem, IaaS, or hybrid, provide application delivery and solutions.
Our TACTICS human teams have unique tools, telemetry, and systems at their fingertips to manage over 1 billion attack vectors per day.
Our platform is driven by APIs at all consumable componentry levels, delivering the power of platform bot engines to your DevOps, Infra, and Engineering teams.
