Attackers can target APIs to perform credential stuffing attacks, scrape content and data, set up new accounts, carry out bonus abuse, and run scripts on gaming platforms to steal in-game rewards, among other activities. They carry out large-scale attacks which put genuine users at risk and cause serious, direct losses to digital businesses.
Arkose Bot Manager for API Abuse
Arkose Bot Manager provides powerful protection of web- and mobile-facing APIs through a combination of real-time analysis, dynamic tokens, and interactive challenges.
Protection of APIs using traditional bot detection solutions is becoming obsolete, as perpetrators can mimic genuine traffic and fly under the radar of velocity rules. Just as one can no longer rely on static identity data and passwords to authenticate users, static API keys are hard to secure and need additional verification to confirm that traffic is coming from a genuine source.
Arkose Bot Manager uses a multi-pronged approach to protect APIs from large-scale attacks which emulate remote clients and impersonate true users.
To eliminate traffic targeting the API directly, the solution embeds an Arkose Bot Manager token into the web application or mobile SDK, and each request dynamically verifies that the token has passed from the client to the server. Arkose Bot Manager monitors all traffic for known signals of abuse, using behavioral f ingerprints, velocity and rate monitoring, and a proprietary user IP database.
Additionally, Arkose Bot Manager provides secondary screening of all suspicious traffic, using 3D visual challenges which are rendered in real time and resilient to automated solvers. Bot attacks fail spontaneously when met with these interactive puzzles.
