Bot Management Solutions
Protect your website, mobile apps, and APIs from malicious bots while maintaining access for the good bots that help your business.
What is Bot Management?
Bot management is part of a comprehensive security strategy to optimize customer engagement, protect digital assets, and prevent online fraud.
Bots make the Internet work—from search engine crawlers that bring the world to your fingertips to chatbots that engage and influence your customers early in the buyer’s journey.
Bots also scale automated attacks like credential stuffing, which can result in account takeover (ATO) and fraud. Motivated cybercriminals leverage a sophisticated arsenal of bots, automation, and evasion techniques. They also perform ongoing reconnaissance to identify security countermeasures and constantly retool their attacks to evade detection.
Don’t settle for bot management that fails to deter cybercriminals or frustrates customers with friction that leads to transaction abandonment, lost revenue, and hot leads for your competitors.

Fake Accounts
Bad actors use fake accounts to commit financially motivated attacks, including reward abuse on retail sites, money laundering via online banking, and even as a disguise for credential stuffing.
Account Takeover
Testing of large numbers of compromised credentials (i.e., usernames and passwords breached from another site) by attackers against your login application to compromise those accounts for monetary gain.
Carding Fraud
The automated abuse of checkout pages to identify missing values of credit cards like expiration date or card security code (CSC).
Inventory Hoarding
Acquisition of goods or services by abusing the application in a manner that a normal user would be unable to undertake manually, eroding customer trust.
Gift Card Cracking
A type of brute force attack in which attackers check millions of gift card number variations on a gift card application to identify card numbers that hold value.
Content Scraping
The use of automated tools to collect large amounts of data from a target application in order to reuse or sell that data elsewhere.
Marketing Fraud
Automated repeated clicking or requesting or submitting content, skewing app-generated business intelligence data.
Why Bot Management Matters
Fraud is increasing in sophistication and is often driven by financially motivated organized crime rings that employ bots to carry out their attacks. These groups are also known for retooling their attacks to overcome commoditized bot protection, which puts security teams on the defensive and strains precious resources. Failing to effectively manage bots can have big impacts on your application performance, your customer experience, and your business.
How F5 Can Help
Security must adapt to attackers that retool to bypass countermeasures—without frustrating users.
This ability to react as apps and attackers adapt can dramatically improve business outcomes by slashing fraud losses, providing better customer experiences, and maximizing operational efficiencies and business intelligence.
By managing bots and mitigating automated attacks on their applications, organizations can reduce losses from fraud, serve customers better, and improve business outcomes.
