Web Scraping and Content Theft

Learn how Arkose Scraping Protection stops web scraping and content theft by eliminating malicious automated traffic and undermining the ROI driving attacks.

Shield your business from escalating threats

Automated web scraping has evolved into a sophisticated threat targeting businesses across every industry. Arkose Scraping Protection—a purpose-built component of the Arkose Titan platform—stops unauthorized data extraction at the network edge while maintaining seamless access for legitimate users.

Unmatched Protection From Scraping

Coordinated Intelligence Across the Stack

One API call triggers comprehensive scraping detection across IP reputation, TLS fingerprinting, user agent validation and behavioral patterns. The platform automatically responds to threats and feeds real-time intelligence to your downstream security tools.

Challenge Technology Built for AI Resistance

Our next-gen challenges combine Proof-of-Work computation with multimodal reasoning tasks that cost attackers via LLM vision APIs. Each challenge adds substantial time per attempt—and with multiple retries required, scraping operations burn through compute budgets fast before they can extract valuable data.

Network Intelligence That Remembers

Edge-based detection identifies scraping infrastructure rotating through residential proxies and spoofed identities while pattern analysis flags automated extraction attempts across content catalogs. Real-time signals create risk assessments accurate enough to pass 99% of legitimate users with zero challenges.

Transparent Decisioning for Security Teams

Every request generates detailed telemetry: 175+ telltale rules showing why we assigned each risk score, complete IP intelligence and behavioral analysis. Security teams see our decision logic as it happens, enabling immediate investigation of scraping campaigns and content theft operations.

Consortium Intelligence Multiplier

Scraping patterns identified at one customer instantly inform protection across our network. When Arkose Labs spots new extraction techniques, AI-powered scrapers or bot infrastructure, every customer benefits from updated detection rules.

ACTIR and the Arkose Labs SOC: Proactive Defense

Arkose Labs operates as an extension of your team, rapidly countering attacks and providing actionable insights without overburdening your internal resources. The Arkose Cyber Threat Intelligence Research (ACTIR) unit conducts proactive threat hunting and risk intelligence gathering to provide vital, fresh intelligence, while the 24/7/365 Security Operations Center (SOC) team focuses on identifying and stopping large-scale attacks immediately. The two teams run a continuous feedback loop that improves the accuracy, timeliness and effectiveness of your defense.

Arkose Labs in Action: Travel Site Restores Business-Critical Booking Metric

One of the world's foremost search engines for travel and booking, with more than $10 billion in annual revenue, was a major target for fraudsters looking to steal information from the platform. Maintaining a high "look-to-book" ratio is essential for this company's contractual obligations with airline and hospitality providers, but web scraping by bots was disrupting this metric and straining their infrastructure.

Results with Arkose Labs:

  • Malicious bot traffic reduced by more than 99%
  • Look-to-book ratio increased from 1% to over 6%
  • Strain on cloud server usage greatly reduced

We are seeing higher legitimate user engagement alongside lower scraping activity, which are the critical metrics for us.
