Bot Protection & Mitigation

Mitigate Bot Traffic and Protect Against Bot Attacks

Bot Mitigation from the experts at IPQS provides real-time bot protection against unwanted bot traffic. Protect your sites, apps, APIs, and ad campaigns from abusive behavior caused by bot traffic. Companies of all sizes are affected by bot traffic, with our latest research showing a 17% increase in malicious bots in 2021 alone. That figure translates into billions of dollars in lost revenue for companies worldwide without bot protection.

Bot protection is a much needed solution for any business as automated, non-human behavior can automatically place orders with stolen credit cards, deplete ad campaign budgets, create fake or duplicate accounts, scrape sensitive data, and even facilitate account takeover attacks.

Bots are also becoming more sophisticated every year, with new software available to cybercriminals that makes it harder to detect bots, such as using residential proxies with virtual devices, spoofing, and emulators. While most services cannot detect compromised devices or location spoofing, IPQS has developed leading technology to mitigate bots and sophisticated abuse.

Bot Protection Solution For Evolving Threats

IPQS uses an agile approach for real-time bot mitigation with a variety of overlapping checks that can stop bot attacks and unwanted traffic on websites and forms. Identify suspicious users and fraudulent behavior:

  • Device Fingerprinting - Analyze over 300 data points about a user's device to identify hijacked or fake virtual devices (emulators) by matching against millions of fraudulent device IDs.
  • IP Reputation - Compare the IP address against the Internet's leading provider is IP Intelligence data. Identify suspicious and bot IP addresses with a history of abuse.
  • Machine Learning - Connect the dots between millions of devices per day scored by IPQS. Our algorithms quickly identify new trends from bot traffic.
  • Behavioral Analysis - Identify suspicious behavior in real-time that would indicate non-human actions, headless browsers, and similar bot behavior.

Take your site's bot protection to the next level with thousands of detection tests performed in under a few hundred milliseconds using our most rigorous checks. For even faster performance, our bot detection API can provide near instant risk analysis for your traffic, clicks, users, and purchases.

Detect bots with 99.97% accuracy and less false-positives then leading bot management solutions. Each device that visits your site or apps is analyzed in real-time with browser validation. For example, if the user's browser (user agent) displays as Windows 10 Chrome 90, our system will perform very specific tests for Chrome and Windows platforms to validate this device. This model is highly accurate and helps mitigate sophisticated bots and abuse.
