Overview:
In today’s digital landscape, the proliferation of bots presents a significant threat to organizations across various industries. Bots, automated software applications, can be programmed for malicious purposes, including fraud, data theft, content scraping, account takeover, and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. In fact, recent studies show bad bots account for ~ a quarter of internet traffic. In addition, as bots become increasingly sophisticated, mimicking real user behaviors, organizations need to shore up their bot management capabilities to protect data, business continuity, and user experience

Key Advantages
Comprehensive Bot Protection
Advanced Bot Protection Service combines a multitude of advanced detection techniques, including biometric-based detection, device fingerprinting, and crawler-specific attribute analysis. This holistic approach ensures robust protection against known and unknown bots, minimizing the risk of fraud, data breaches, and service disruptions.
Enhanced User Experience
By accurately distinguishing between bots and legitimate users, our solution optimizes user experience by minimizing false positives and false negatives. This ensures frictionless access for genuine users, improving customer satisfaction and engagement while maintaining strong security.
Easy Integration
Advanced Bot Protection Service seamlessly integrates with FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb, enhancing the security capabilities of your existing infrastructure. Alternatively, it can be deployed as a standalone service on your web server, providing flexibility and scalability to meet your organization’s unique requirements.
Customizable and Adaptive
Our solution offers extensive customization options, allowing you to tailor bot detection rules, actions, and thresholds to align with your specific security policies. Moreover, Advanced Bot Protection Service continuously evolves to adapt to emerging threats, providing ongoing protection and peace of mind.
Use Cases:
Capabilities
Biometric-based Detection
Advanced Bot Protection Service leverages state-of-the-art biometric-based detection algorithms to accurately differentiate between human users and automated bots. By analyzing unique biometric attributes, such as keystroke dynamics, mouse movements, and touch interactions, our solution effectively identifies and blocks malicious bot activity while allowing genuine users seamless access.
Monitor Client Events
Closely monitors client-side events, including mouse movements (scrolls, clicks) and keyboard clicks, to detect suspicious behavior patterns associated with bot activity. By analyzing these events in real-time, Advanced Bot Protection Service effectively mitigates various automated threats, such as click fraud and content scraping, ensuring the integrity of your web applications.
Device Fingerprinting
Advanced Bot Protection Service creates a comprehensive profile of each user’s device using advanced device fingerprinting techniques, including multiple hardware and software attributes. This enables accurate identification of malicious bots attempting to impersonate legitimate users, allowing you to block them proactively and safeguard your web assets.
Detecting Crawler-Specific Attributes
Advanced Bot Protection Service utilizes advanced algorithms to detect crawler-specific attributes, such as user agent strings and HTTP header information. Our solution identifies and distinguishes between legitimate search engine crawlers and malicious bots by analyzing these characteristics, providing granular control over bot access.
Checking Browser and OS Inconsistencies
Examines browser and operating system (OS) inconsistencies exhibited by users, identifying potential bot activity. Advanced Bot Protection Service effectively blocks bots attempting to exploit vulnerabilities in outdated browsers or fraudulent OS versions by comparing user-agent strings, screen resolutions, and other attributes.
Bot Rules Analysis
Advanced Bot Protection Service offers a robust bot rules analysis engine, allowing you to define custom rules to identify and mitigate specific bot behaviors. With extensive rule customization options, our solution enables fine-tuning bot detection policies, ensuring optimal protection against known and emerging threats.
Historical Analytics
Advanced Bot Protection Service provided comprehensive historical analytics on HTTP attempts, including success and failed counts over time. By visualizing bot activity trends, you gain valuable insights into attack patterns, allowing you to enhance your security posture and proactively adapt your mitigation strategies.
Action
Advanced Bot Protection Service empowers you with various flexible measures to respond to bot threats effectively. Whether allowing legitimate users seamless access, blocking malicious bots, or employing CAPTCHA challenges for suspicious activity, our solution offers granular control over bot mitigation actions to suit your specific security requirements.
Security Fabric
Advanced Bot Protection Service delivers broad protection and visibility to FortiAppSec, FortiADC, and FortiWeb, whether virtual, in the cloud, or on-premises. It can automatically synchronize security actions to enforce policies and coordinate automated responses to threats detected anywhere in your web application.
Deployment
Seamless Integration with FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb
Advanced Bot Protection Service seamlessly integrates with FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb, strengthening your overall security infrastructure and providing enhanced bot mitigation capabilities. Here’s how the integration works:
Traffic Flow and JS insertion
Traffic flows from the client to the web application through the FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb, which acts as a reverse proxy. This flow allows FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb to intercept and inspect incoming requests, providing an additional layer of security before they reach your web applications.
Telemetric Information
The client and the FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb (using the fabric connector) sends telemetric information to the FortiGuard Advanced Bot Protection, which helps gather relevant data about client interactions, device fingerprinting, and other comprehensive analyses to detect bot activity
Data Analysis
Advanced Bot Protection Service analyzes incoming requests to determine whether the client is a human or a bot. By leveraging sophisticated algorithms and data telemetry information, Advanced Bot Protection Service accurately evaluates the nature of the request and identifies potential bot activity
Action
Based on the analysis results, Advanced Bot Protection Service sends instructions back to FortiAppSec Cloud, FortiADC, and FortiWeb. These instructions guide handling the request, including whether to block, display a Captcha challenge, or allow the request to proceed.
