Behaviour-Led Bot Detection
The critical role of AI in countering malicious bot attacks on your web assets.
The Advancement of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the subset of AI, Machine Learning (ML), are at the forefront of technological and societal progress. Solutions to problems previously deemed to be incredibly complex and challenging, or even impossible are being unlocked by developments in the field of ML.
Once trained, ML algorithms can make predictions on data at phenomenal speed, and can, therefore, be used to automate complex and time-consuming tasks and to solve problems that are beyond the capability of humans to understand.
Why AI Matters in Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is about safeguarding an organisation’s systems, data, as well as the information of employees, clients, and affiliated parties, to prevent unauthorised access.
Confidential and sensitive data is valuable to bad actors for many reasons. Many of which have a financial aim; whether it be stealing data to sell-back or sell-on, stealing money, content theft, and much more.

Why Malicious Web Bots are Difficult to Prevent
The impact on cybersecurity and bot detection of the rapid developments in AI are profound and long-lasting.
Generative AI has allowed bad actors to create authentic looking data more easily to support phishing and vishing attacks. AI powered malicious bots can bypass traditional bot detection systems with ease.
Our sophisticated AI bot detection is the only way to combat this danger.
