E-commerce and classifieds businesses are constantly under threat from cyber attacks that aim to steal data, disrupt services, or gain unauthorized access. These attacks can have serious consequences, such as loss of revenue, reputation, or customer trust.

One of the most common types of cyber attacks is bot traffic, which is generated by automated scripts or programs that mimic human behavior. Bot traffic can be used for various malicious purposes, such as:

  • Credential stuffing: Using stolen or leaked usernames and passwords to try to log in to multiple websites and services.
  • Layer 7 DDoS attacks: Sending a large number of requests to a web server or application, overwhelming its capacity and causing it to slow down or crash.
  • SQL injection: Inserting malicious code into a web form or URL, exploiting a vulnerability in the database and accessing or modifying sensitive data.
  • Intensive scraping: Extracting large amounts of data from a website, such as product prices, inventory, reviews, or contact information.

Bot traffic can be hard to detect and block, as bots are becoming more sophisticated and can evade traditional security measures. Moreover, bot traffic can account for up to 50% of all web traffic, which means that e-commerce and classifieds businesses are losing valuable resources and opportunities to serve their real customers.

To protect their websites and applications from bot traffic, e-commerce and classifieds businesses need a solution that can:

  • Detect bot traffic in real-time, using advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
  • Block bot traffic with customized responses, such as captchas, redirections, or bans.
  • Monitor bot traffic and its impact on the website or application performance, user experience, and business metrics.
