Bot Management in the Age of Offensive AI

The explosive impact of ransomware and GDPR fines grab attention in boardrooms and in the press, but the corrosive damage of automated attacks is just as ruinous. Bad bots are to blame, striking businesses in their billions daily.

Now in its third year, Netacea’s study continues to shed light on the financial impact of bots. Independent research firm Coleman Parkes surveyed 440 US & UK businesses with an average online revenue of $1.9bn across the travel, entertainment, ecommerce, financial services and telecoms sectors.

This year’s study brings shocking findings into focus:

$85.6m (or 4.3% of online revenue) was lost by each business, on average, to bot attacks last year – more than twice the previous figure.
Four months is the average time taken to detect bot attacks.
72% of businesses detected attacks from China, and 66% from Russia (an 82% increase over the previous two years).
40% of enterprises are attacked via their APIs – and for the first time, bots are targeting mobile apps more than websites.
On this webinar, you’ll hear expert analysis of these findings from Netacea Principal Security Researcher Cyril Noel-Tagoe, industry insights from Tom Parker, Cyber Security Manager at BT, and academic viewpoints from Rob Black, Lecturer in Information Activities at Cranfield University.

The BLADE Framework: The MITRE ATT&CK-style Framework for Bot Attacks [Part 1]

We've all experienced it – that must-have ticket or item is due to be released, causing thousands to rush online to be at the product drop. This sudden influx of traffic overwhelms and breaks eCommerce infrastructures, damaging profits and frustrating fans.

On top of this, valuable items of any kind inevitably attract bots – automated to check out faster than any human, then resell the items at a marked-up price. With huge profits to be made, bots will stop at nothing to flood web stores and snatch inventory ahead of people.

By combining a virtual waiting room from Queue-it with advanced bot protection from Netacea, you can keep bad bots clear of hype drops and free up your infrastructure for real fans. Your web stores stay online, and genuine customers can buy at fair prices, without interruption.

How To Handle Peak Traffic Spikes and Mitigate Bot Attacks

Bots running rife on the internet is nothing new, but if recent incidents like widespread PS5 scalping or credential stuffing of major brands’ websites are anything to go by, bot attacks have become a major disruptor to businesses.

Businesses have long fought back to detect and block such attacks, yet bot operators quickly adapt to ensure they continually evade detection. How do bot operators win against their victims so frequently? And how do bots routinely beat defenses developed to stop them?

In this webinar, Netacea Principal Security Researcher Cyril Noel-Tagoe breaks down the bot attack lifecycle, showing how bot attacks slip under the radar of many popular anti-bot technologies using tactics such as proxying to residential IPs, CAPTCHA farms, and de-obfuscation of code used by bot detection tools.
