F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense
Bot protection for APIs and web and mobile apps
Defend against malicious bots. Ensure safe, fast, and seamless user experiences.
Bot Defense That Adapts Faster Than Criminals Retool
Bot attacks are difficult to stop—criminals retool to bypass defenses, rapidly solving CAPTCHAs and mimicking human behavior. To stay ahead of bots, Distributed Cloud Bot Defense uses AI to achieve unparalleled long-term efficacy and zero customer friction.
Challenges
Cybercriminals continuously retool bot attacks to quickly overcome commoditized bot protection by bypassing controls and mimicking humans—frustrating both security teams and your customers.
Increased account takeovers impact customer trust
Bots use credential stuffing attacks to take over accounts, steal customer data, and commit fraudulent transactions.
Bots easily bypass standard controls
Bots solve CAPTCHAs better than humans and use proxy networks to overwhelm deny lists.
Advanced bots mimic humans to avoid detection
Sophisticated bots evade detection by imitating humans and randomizing mouse movements and clicks.
SecOps cannot keep up with rapid bot retooling
SecOps cannot adapt fast enough, raising operational costs, customer friction, and security breaches.
