Advanced Bot Management Tools for Website Protection
Advanced bot management tools for website protection help you identify and distinguish between good and bad bots, allowing the former to access your website while blocking the latter. They work by examining traffic patterns, the type of content the user is trying to access, and more, to determine whether or not a visitor is human. This enables you to fortify intellectual property, secure online revenue, and protect users from malicious bots that can steal login credentials or credit card information, spread malware, launch distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), or manipulate search engine optimization rankings by mass distribution of content or tracking tags.
Advanced Bot Management Tools for Website Protection
Compared to traditional methods, advanced bot management tools are more accurate and provide better protection against complex threats. This includes heuristics, machine learning, IP filtering, and device fingerprinting. Heuristics is a rule-based approach that looks for specific patterns or behaviors indicative of a bot and can adapt to evolving threats. However, it can also generate false positives. Machine learning is more sophisticated and can learn from previous detection results to improve accuracy. It can identify more sophisticated bots but requires sufficient training data and ongoing maintenance.
Radware’s dedicated bot management tool, called Bot Manager, is an effective solution against advanced and unknown threats such as brute force attacks and volumetric attacks. It detects and identifies bot behavior at the server-side, making it unique in the market. It works in real-time and can be deployed on websites, mobile apps, APIs, CDNs, and load balancing. It also offers a low false-positive rate, so you don’t have to worry about disrupting your visitors’ experience.
