The majority of internet traffic is now made up of bots. Many bots are malicious, and actively looking for the next opportunity to attack. In fact, bots make 90% of all login attempts. They also pretend to be human, trying to bypass security measures and evade detection by mimicking human behaviour. Worse, the old defences aren’t enough on their own. Manual analysis, rules-based defences and web application firewalls just can’t keep pace with the ferocity of these attacks.

The Fastly Netacea direct integration allows you to benefit from the power of Fastly’s, fast, secure and scalable edge cloud platform and plugin Netacea’s Adaptive Threat architecture, our powerful machine learning can be harnessed to detect bots and mitigate at the edge, without impacting performance.

Netacea’s Virtual Waiting Room is a cloud-based service that sits in front of your website, mobile app and APIs, controlling the flow of visitors. Guarantee a positive customer omni-channel experience even under extreme conditions such as Black Friday. The use of online services has revolutionised the way we consume everything every day, which has made life great! What’s not so great though is when these services cannot meet the consumer demand that they generate, and then become unavailable.

Having worked with some of Europe’s largest retailers as well as high-profile ticketing platforms and venues around the globe, Netacea is well equipped to not only help you prepare for peak online sale events, but also be your first line of defence from spikes in traffic or malicious bots.

Netacea Virtual Waiting Room ensures website availability for customer transactions by placing visitors the system cannot cope with into a queue and serving them customisable content. Inform your customers with a branded queuing screen detailing their place in the queue and the estimated waiting time. Encourage customers to spend more by displaying special offers and discount codes.
