Bot Management Software

Bot management software provides a critical tool for businesses to detect and prevent malicious bot activities while still permitting authorized bots, such as search engine crawlers, to access their websites and applications. Utilizing this type of mitigation software helps to eliminate the risks associated with bot-driven attacks and is particularly effective in thwarting automated attacks such as:

• Account takeover (ATO)
• Credential stuffing
• Data scraping
• New account fraud
• Scalping

Over time, numerous bot management solutions have emerged to assist digital businesses in filtering out harmful bots. These solutions incorporate various technologies, such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and website development technologies.

Bot management software observes the incoming digital traffic on a website, app, or API to identify and prevent malicious activity. These solutions utilize various tools and technologies to help businesses differentiate between harmful bots and legitimate users. Such tools encompass artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, behavioral biometrics, device fingerprinting, and other similar techniques.

As digital interactions have grown in volume, so too has the occurrence of malicious bot activity. Additionally, bots have acquired human-like capabilities that enable them to interact with fraud solutions in a way that mimics human behavior. In situations where more intricate human interaction is necessary, these bots can hand over the attack to human click farms, further complicating the task of distinguishing fraudsters from legitimate users for businesses.

Currently, bot management software utilizes three distinct approaches – static, challenge-based, and behavioral – to detect and prevent bot-driven attacks. Depending on the severity of the threat, digital businesses may employ one or a combination of these approaches. They may also delegate bot management services to vendors that specialize in this field.
