APIs are constantly under attack from fraudsters, who target them in order to carry out attacks such as credential stuffing, bonus abuse, in-game abuse.
Our research shows API security ranks as the top concern for 71% of cybersecurity professionals at large enterprises. Attackers are exploiting a critical vulnerability: APIs accessed by devices that can't run browser-based security, such as gaming consoles, IoT devices, in-vehicle systems and programmatic developer endpoints. These unprotected surfaces enable credential stuffing operations running 24/7, data scraping bots harvesting competitive intelligence and inventory manipulation that drains resources before legitimate users can access them.
Arkose Edge — part of the Arkose Titan platform — stops these attacks at the network edge, protecting vulnerable API endpoints while maintaining seamless access for legitimate traffic.
Automated attacks exploit programmatic API access to test stolen credentials at massive scale without browser-based detection. Arkose Edge identifies and blocks credential validation attempts through network-level analysis, stopping account takeover operations before they compromise user accounts.
Bots targeting APIs systematically extract pricing data, product catalogs and competitive intelligence through programmatic access. Edge-based detection identifies scraping patterns and blocks unauthorized data extraction while legitimate API clients access content seamlessly.
Automated systems manipulate limited inventory through API endpoints, preventing legitimate customers from completing purchases. Real-time traffic analysis detects and stops hoarding operations, bonus abuse and resource manipulation targeting high-value transactions.
IoT devices, gaming consoles, IPTV systems and low-powered devices lack client-side security capabilities, creating vulnerable attack vectors. Server-side protection extends security to every surface accessing your APIs — no JavaScript or SDK integration required.
API attacks operate invisibly behind legitimate-looking requests, making detection difficult without specialized monitoring. Comprehensive telemetry and reporting provide complete visibility into programmatic traffic patterns, attack campaigns and threat intelligence.
Traditional security can't protect APIs accessed by IoT devices, gaming consoles or programmatic endpoints. Secure every attack surface — including the ones you couldn't protect before.
API abuse drains revenue through credential sharing, inventory manipulation and unauthorized access. Protect high-value endpoints from automated attacks that directly impact your bottom line.
Client-side security requires JavaScript or SDK integration that many surfaces can't support. Achieve comprehensive protection through lightweight server-side deployment — no client changes required.
API attacks don't happen in isolation — they're part of coordinated fraud campaigns. Benefit from threat intelligence shared across the Arkose Titan platform, correlating API abuse with account fraud and bot attacks.
Arkose Labs has a fantastic solution that ends all bulk attacks against your system, manual or automated. Their managed service provides peace of mind and effective management on top of their incredible technology.
