Bot Detection, Mitigation, and Fraud Prevention

Cequence Bot Management protects an organization’s web, mobile, and API applications from the full range of bot attacks to prevent data loss, theft, and fraud, eliminating harmful business impacts such as downtime, brand damage, skewed sales analytics, and increased infrastructure costs.

Cequence Detects and Mitigates the Attacks that Matter

Today’s attackers are more sophisticated than ever, employing a variety of tools and techniques that are often difficult to detect, much less prevent. Cequence bot management detects and mitigates the automated attacks that threaten your organization, including:

How Cequence Bot Management Is Different

No Application Modification

Unlike competing solutions which use CAPTCHAs and other laborious methods that increase customer friction, Cequence requires no client-side JavaScript or SDK integration. This approach dramatically simplifies implementation and eliminates regression testing, as it doesn’t require development teams to integrate third-party code. Cequence protects at the network level, ensuring all your web and mobile applications, APIs, and cloud- and microservices-based architectures are consistently protected.

Industry-Leading Bot Detection

<p>Cequence’s holistic network-based bot detection is more accurate than traditional client-side options. Rather than rely on signals from end-user devices, Cequence machine learning analyzes behavioral intent across web, mobile, and API traffic, resulting in a more accurate behavioral fingerprint. This technique consistently distinguishes good bots from bad bots and tracks malicious activity even as attackers re-tool to avoid detection.</p>

Real-Time Mitigation

<p>Cequence’s advanced AI detects attacks and autonomously creates threat mitigation rules and policies that can be implemented automatically or after human review. Real-time mitigation options include blocking, rate limiting, header injection, and deception.</p>

Friction-Free User Verification

CAPTCHA and SMS codes do not reliably separate humans from bots – ML models solve image challenges more accurately than most users, and SMS farms exploit carrier vulnerabilities at scale. Biometric Check routes suspicious traffic to a user’s native biometric authentication such as Face ID, Touch ID, or a Windows Hello prompt instead, confirming a real person is present in under a second with no puzzles, no codes, and no conversion-killing friction.
