Content Scraping Prevention
Prevent fraud and theft associated with content or web scraping.
Content/web scraping, harvesting or data extraction is the collection of data or content from public-facing applications. When scraping happens maliciously it is critical to ensure that infrastructure and customer experience is not negatively impacted. Attacks commonly hit retail, financial services, travel, hospitality and social media, and can result in stolen intellectual property, sales decline and brand degradation.
Organizations often experience a combination of malicious scraping and search engine abuse that exhibit the following characteristics:
Taken collectively, the findings provide strong evidence that the intent of the scraping and search activity is malicious.
Agentless approach provides full spectrum analysis of HTTP traffic for both API and web-based applications.
Uncover patterns indicative of content scraping by analyzing both HTTP POST and GET calls. Alternate JavaScript and SDK-based solutions rely heavily on HTTP POST, which limits their efficacy to detect and mitigate scraping activity.
Using over 150 customizable automation indicators, CQAI determines the malicious or benign intent of each content request transaction. Customizable mitigation policies provide multiple response options (block, rate limit, geo fence, deception), and findings can be sent to external systems for analysis/response.
Scraping attacks are highly automated, making newly published content highly vulnerable if not protected. When new web, mobile or API-based content is deployed, Bot Defense automatically discovers and protects it from content scraping activity.
Bot Defense protects all of your public-facing applications from automated attacks including content or web scraping. A single consistent security policy protects all of your applications, allowing you to consolidate app security functions into a single platform.
Deep behavioral analysis of the user intent means fraudulent activity is detected more quickly than competitive offerings. Quicker discovery, in turn, means more rapid incident response time.
Customizable automation indicators and responses enable you to fine tune and maximize attack prevention policies to eliminate fraud associated with content scraping.
With a container-based architecture, Bot Defense can be deployed in your data center, in the cloud or as a SaaS offering.
