Bot Defense Differentiators

Consistent Protection for Your Ever-Changing Business and Threat Landscape

Bot Defense: Built to Adapt

As business requirements and applications evolve, so too will the attackers. You need a bot protection solution that consistently protects and defends against continually evolving online attacks without slowing down development cycles. Protecting some of the most targeted brands, Bot Defense is your best defense against bad bots.

No Application Integration Required

Competitive offerings rely on integrating JavaScript or SDK into your applications, resulting in a piecemeal protection approach and deployment delays caused by additional development, QA and 3rd party validation cycles. Bot Defense uses CQAI to automatically discover, analyze and protect all your APIs and web applications, eliminating development friction and allowing your team to focus on delivering new apps and features quickly.

Unmatched Attack Coverage

CQAI continuously analyzes L2-L7 traffic to create a Behavioral Fingerprint that identifies multiple network level actions including tools in use, attacker evasion tactics, infrastructure used and user credentials. The result: Bot Defense blocks a broad set of attacks including scraping, sneaker Bots, automated shopping, and advanced bot attacks targeting APIs using gRPC and HTTP GET-method instead of POST.

Higher Sustained Efficacy

Attackers avoid mitigation efforts by analyzing the JavaScript or SDK and retooling or using standard JavaScript (and CAPTCHA) bypass features included in tools like OpenBullet. CQAI is invisible to attackers, using the Behavioral Fingerprint to detect and track hundreds of malicious characteristics, both automated and human, to continuously block the attack regardless of evasive tactic.

Consistent Protection For APIs

Competitive offerings use cumbersome traffic redirects, cookie insertion techniques or basic volumetric analysis to protect your APIs, resulting in inconsistent levels of protection and poor user experience. The Behavioral Fingerprint created by CQAI tracks attacker behaviors as they move from web to API endpoints resulting in consistent protection across all of your applications.

No Page Load or Forced Upgrade Penalties

JavaScript can slow web page loads by as much as 2 seconds, and SDK integration often requires mobile app upgrades to deliver the current version. Bot Defense eliminates those penalties and helps ensure that your investments in page load optimization and optimal user experience are not wasted.

Not a Black Box

Alternative solutions provide limited user access, forcing you to engage with professional services for policy changes. The Bot Defense intuitive graphical user interface allows you to view all your APIs and web apps, analyze threats hiding in plain sight and mitigate them quickly and easily.

Open, Extensible Platform

Competitive offerings are closed and proprietary, requiring professional services engagements to access your data for analysis and forensics. Bot Defense REST-based APIs allow you to import threat data to enhance CQAI findings, or export data to a SIEM, SOAR or anti-fraud system resulting in a stronger security posture.

Deployable Anywhere

Some offerings limit your deployment options resulting in potential gaps in protection or cumbersome network architectures. Cequence Bot Defense is a modern, Kubernetes-based application that allows you to pick the deployment option that fits your application security requirements: cloud, data center, SaaS or hybrid.
