Good bots are automated software programs that perform beneficial tasks and provide value to users or website owners. Good bots include search engine crawlers, web indexing bots, chatbots, and social media monitoring bots.
Bad bots, on the other hand, are malicious or unwanted bots that engage in harmful activities. Typically created to exploit vulnerabilities, commit fraud, gather sensitive information, disrupt services, or manipulate online systems.
Bad bots can be responsible for activities like scraping content, launching DDoS attacks, carrying out account takeovers, spamming, or engaging in click fraud. Implementing comprehensive bot management safeguards your brand reputation, protects user data, and ensures a secure and positive online experience.
By employing bot management, businesses can detect and block automated bots attempting to use the stolen username and password combinations. This protection prevents unauthorised access to user accounts, preserving the security and privacy of user information.
Bot management solutions have mechanisms in place to identify and counter content scraping bots. These measures safeguard intellectual property by detecting and mitigating unauthorised content extraction from websites, ensuring the integrity and originality of the content remain intact.
Employ techniques such as behavioural analysis, CAPTCHAs, and content monitoring to detect and block content spam bots. By doing so, they prevent the automated posting of unwanted or irrelevant content, maintaining the quality and authenticity of user-generated content on websites.
Combat inventory hoarding by implementing measures that ensure fair access to products for genuine customers. By detecting and limiting bulk purchases made by bots, businesses can prevent artificial scarcity and maintain an equitable shopping experience for all users.
Utilise various methods such as transaction pattern analysis, device fingerprinting, and behaviour monitoring to detect and block credit card stuffing bots. These measures reduce the risk of fraudulent transactions, protecting both businesses and customers from financial losses and potential identity theft.
