REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Imperva today announced Advanced Bot Protection, which adds bot protection technology to its Cloud Application Security platform for application and website protection. Advanced Bot Protection enables defense-in-depth security by delivering bot protection in a single stack model, while making deployment easier, says Imperva.

Over 24 percent of internet traffic is bad bots, which are purpose-built to attack organizations’ websites and mobile apps through web scraping, account takeover, transaction fraud, denial of service, competitive data mining, unauthorized vulnerability scans, spam, click fraud, and web and mobile API abuse. The bot problem is focused on abuse of business functionality rather than finding and exploiting vulnerabilities.

Imperva says that its Advanced Bot Protection defends mission-critical websites, mobile apps, and APIs from automated threats without affecting the flow of business-critical traffic.

Key features include:

Next-generation code obfuscation: New feature coined Morpheme uses dynamic deception techniques that make it harder for sophisticated bot operators to reverse engineer so it can access a website or mobile app undetected.

Fast deployment: The ‘easy’ button to deploy Advanced Bot Protection allows for a low-touch and simple deployment within Imperva’s single stack. It can be deployed in a matter of minutes.

Flexible deployment: Customers now have two deployment options to choose from: a single-stack deployment integrated with Cloud WAF, or through Connectors into other popular technologies including AWS, Cloudflare, F5 Networks, NGINX, and now, Fastly.

Overall improved site performance: This reduces latency without affecting the flow of business-critical traffic.

Advanced Bot Protection follows Imperva’s acquisition of Distil Networks, the industry-recognized leader in bot management. The solution is generally available now. To learn more, see https://www.imperva.com/products/advanced-bot-protection.
