This study profiles a retail customer that deployed theCequence platform and enjoyed strong application security, but also significant cost avoidance/savings by stopping bots from achieving their account takeover objectives. The costs measured included compromised accounts and infrastructure oversizing.

The Cequence Application Security Platform (ASP) represents a revolutionary approach to application security that protects all of your externally-facing applications, whether web, mobile, or API, from bots and targeted threats. Unlike other solutions, Cequence ASP requires no modification to your web or mobile applications and even discovers applications and APIs that you may not have known existed.

Cequence Security’s appFirewall takes a new approach, one that uses intelligence and automation to extend far beyond traditional OWASP Top 10 and PCI DSS Section 6.6 focused WAF functionality. CQ appFirewall complements CQ botDefense as the second, newest security module available within the Cequence Application Security Platform (ASP).

CQ botDefense allows your organization to gain full visibility and control over automated attacks without impacting valid users and beneficial forms of automation. Working collaboratively with CQAI, CQ botDefense first gains a complete understanding of your web, mobile and API-based applications, then detects and mitigates the automated attacks that are targeting them, allowing you to accomplish several key application security objectives: 1) Prevent automated attacks, 2) Bake security into your application infrastructure, and 3) Seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure.

The intelligence of Cequence Application Security Platform lies in CQAI, an analytics engine that uses multiple techniques operating in unison to first understand your applications and then detect attack attributes and characteristics within the transactions. Each incoming web, mobile and API-based application transaction request is fully analyzed across multiple dimensions by CQAI resulting in an indicator of intent and confidence score.
