Understand and combat malicious bots that target your applications

Malicious bots are the No. 1 cause of application-based attacks leading to successful breaches and extortion attempts. They can execute a wide variety of specific attack types. And yet, too few organizations are fully prepared to defend their applications against bad bots.

Attend an upcoming webinar to get a clear, detailed explanation of how these highly destructive attack modes work, and how to effectively defeat them, at a session presented by Barracuda’s head of application security, Nitzan Miron, and Kaivan Jesung, Senior Director of Marketing Operations.

Bad bot attacks

Nitzan and Kaivan will explain in detail some of the ways advanced bots attack, including DDoS, shopping-cart fraud, and scraping.

They’ll also share insights on how the “bot supply chain” works. Rather than the dark-web, underground enterprise you might suspect, it is a mature, legitimate market that openly advertises and delivers built-to-order bots that anyone can purchase and use to carry out attacks like these.

You’ll find out why it can be very difficult to detect sophisticated, malicious bot activity. And you’ll understand why AI and machine-learning systems that analyze hundreds of data points in real time can detect advanced bots that humans simply can’t.

Client-side attacks

Nitzan and Kaivan will also explain why innovations in application development have paved the way for new kinds of client-side attacks including API exploits and software supply-chain attacks.

They’ll show you how widespread use of APIs has created new categories of vulnerability that can give attackers access to your data, as well as to the building blocks of your apps — including third-party code modules that can be compromised in software supply-chain attacks.

Modern attacks require modern security

Nitzan and Kaivan will present a clear account of the strategies needed to prevent both of these client-side attack modes from succeeding. And they’ll show you how Barracuda Cloud Application Protection delivers the capabilities to detect and stop malicious bots while also protecting your applications and APIs against client-side attacks.
