Business logic abuse and Account takeover (ATO) is getting more prevalent thanks to organized crime rings using bots and automated attacks on web apps and APIs—and they’re able to quickly adapt to security countermeasures and overcome basic security controls. As a result, security and risk management teams are taxed with trying to stay ten steps ahead of attackers in order to keep apps and customer accounts secure… and if they rely too heavily on manual processes or fail to deter bots, automated threats could impact application performance, create an adverse customer experience, and damage business reputation.
