At F5, we hate fake application traffic. And there’s a lot to hate—up to 90% of traffic is bot-based, and all that fake traffic is trying to steal from legitimate sources by leveraging billions of stolen credentials each year. Attackers then use these credentials for account takeovers, scraping, gift card attacks, and carding—resulting in literally billions of dollars lost annually.
This probably isn’t news to you. We all know application security is a top priority, but many customers simply don’t have the budget to devote to the overhead of an entire in-house security team. That leaves them especially vulnerable to the ravages of bots.
To meet this challenge we have joined our stack of Silverline cloud-based security with Shape Silverline Defense, delivering world-class application protection by leveraging the power of the Shape network.
The new solution offers a better way to protect online businesses from imitation attacks—delivered by bots and other forms of automation—that simulate human behavior using highly sophisticated attack tools, with the goal of conducting crime or disrupting business. With this new offering, companies get the visibility, detection, and mitigation outcomes they need to slash fraud; reduce cloud hosting, bandwidth, and compute costs; improve user experiences; and optimize their business based on real human traffic.
