Bot Defender’s behavioral fingerprinting
Omri Iluz, Co-founder and CEO at PerimeterX
PerimeterX today introduced a new security service: PerimeterX Bot Defender™. Bot Defender
uses behavioral fingerprinting technology to accurately detect and defend websites from all types of
automated attacks.
With bot attacks becoming more targeted, in-depth
and dynamic, PerimeterX has developed a new
approach to threat detection based on smart technology which leverages dynamic behavior fingerprints based on hundreds of indicators profiling the
user, their browser and network, instead of using
historical signatures of bad bots, which are static
and quickly become outdated. Unlike other security
solutions which place a proxy between a customer
and a website adding latency and complexity to the
network, PerimeterX can detect and stop any automated threats with integration that is as simple
as adding a JavaScript tag. Bot attacks to websites
include zero-day threats, brute force, price scraping, content scraping, layer 7 Distributed Denial of
“Bot Defender’s behavioral fingerprinting provides
the most comprehensive protection against automated threats, and we’ve made it as easy as possible for any company to start using it,” said Omri Iluz,
Co-founder and CEO at PerimeterX. “PerimeterX
deployments already protect more than one billion
page views each week, and that number is quickly
growing.”
Instead of a “black box” approach that other companies implement, which offers limited reporting and
transparency, PerimeterX provides robust reporting
for analyzed traffic and threats, giving companies full
visibility and control into how and why items are being blocked. Attacks can easily be analyzed by time,
risk score, country, IP address, and customer supplied tags, and can be further customized based on
a company’s needs. PerimeterX is an out-of-band
service that doesn’t affect delivery performance and
is compatible with a customer’s currently deployed
infrastructure including any content delivery network
(CDN) or cloud infrastructure.
