Detect and mitigate anomalous and velocity-based bot attacks
Organizations facing automated attacks rely on Fastly's Next-Gen WAF to identify and mitigate malicious bots from attacking their web applications and APIs.
Benefits
Protect your apps and your bottom line
Bad bots can negatively impact your bottom line and customer experiences. Our Next-Gen WAF quickly identifies and mitigates bad bot activity, protecting your applications and APIs against a variety of automated attacks.
Reduce fraud and resource abuse
Our bot protection eliminates excessive abuse and misuse of application resources that power fraudulent activity, such as account takeover or application DDoS. It ensures that web resources are only serving real customers and reduces the ancillary costs of fraud such as customer support tickets, fraudulent charges, and more.
Safeguard brand reputation
Stopping malicious bot attacks helps maintain brand reputation and customer trust, especially when it comes to account security. We block automated attacks, like credential stuffing and account takeover, that can negatively impact your customers' experiences.
Maintain competitive advantage
From stealing content to page rank, malicious bots can directly affect your bottom line. Fastly empowers organizations to stop click fraud, content scraping (such as inventory availability, price lists, or other IP), SEO manipulation, and other bot attacks from impacting revenue.
Features
Bot protection use cases
We detect and mitigate anomalous and velocity-based bot attacks based on request headers, body anomalies, and other criteria. Volumetric bot-generated traffic is mitigated via advanced rate limiting to both detect and prevent automated behavior against your applications and APIs.
Account takeover and credential stuffing
Reduce fraudulent activity and protect your brand reputation by protecting your user logins from disruptive credential stuffing and account takeover attacks.
Gift and credit card fraud
Stop malicious bots from brute-force testing stolen credit card or gift card numbers that lead to fraudulent purchases.
Content scraping
Maintain your competitive edge and SEO rankings by preventing bots from scanning and copying your unique content to be used on other sites.
