Bot Detection
The crucial role of bot detection in the fight against bots
Bots present complex challenges for organizations. These automated programs, ranging from simple scripts to sophisticated AI-driven entities, play an ambiguous role in the cyber world. On the one hand, they facilitate essential online operations; on the other, malicious bots can pose serious threats to cybersecurity.
The downside of bots
Malicious bots, designed for sinister purposes, can infiltrate an organization’s network, compromise data and disrupt business continuity. A prominent form of this is the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack, in which bots flood a network with traffic, resulting in significant operational disruptions, loss in customer confidence and financial losses.
Another worrisome trend is the use of scraping bots. These bots unlawfully extract sensitive data and intellectual property from websites, leading to significant security risks. In addition, phishing bots, which aim to obtain confidential information by deception, are a growing threat.
Evolane’s approach: advanced bot detection and mitigation
In response to complex challenges, Evolane is partnering with Akamai to provide advanced bot detection and mitigation solutions. Through the use of AI and machine learning, Akamai’s Bot Manager effectively distinguishes legitimate user activity from malicious bot traffic. Evolane contributes by effectively integrating and adapting these technologies to each organization’s unique requirements, which is essential to maintaining digital security and integrity.
NIS2 Directive and Bot Detection: An essential combination for cyber resilience
Under the EU’s NIS2 directive, which strengthens the security of network and information systems, bot detection plays a crucial role. Evolane’s partnership with Akamai delivers advanced bot detection technologies essential for NIS2 compliance. These technologies help proactively identify malicious bots, contributing to effective risk management and protection of critical infrastructure. By integrating these solutions, Evolane not only helps organizations meet the stringent requirements of NIS2, but also strengthens stakeholders’ confidence in their digital security.
Bots as allies
It is essential to recognize that not all bots are harmful. Many bots, such as chatbots and web crawlers, are crucial for improving user experience and increasing operational efficiency. Evolane recognizes the importance of these positive bots and ensures that their functionality is maintained while the malicious bots are stopped.
