Humans have become a minority of internet users, with automated bot traffic accounting for more than half of all internet traffic. However, most businesses do not know the composition of their web traffic, or what that traffic is doing on their websites. A trillion-dollar cyber-crime business has been born out of this environment, at the expense of organisations around the world. As the cyber threat grows, the internet is becoming increasingly unfair and driving businesses to spend roughly $88bn on cybersecurity, with this figure predicted to increase by 1,200% to $1tn in 2021.

When organisations consider how to protect their web applications from attacks, they often focus on security scans and pen tests to identify technical security flaws. While this is absolutely correct, there is another risk that often remains undetected until it is too late: business logic attacks.

Up to 40% of traffic to an eCommerce site consists of automated bot traffic, but many eCommerce sites lack the visibility required to accurately identify human traffic vs. good and bad bots. Watch the webinar recording and hear from guest speakers from leading eCommerce organizations who discuss what bots mean for them in 2020, the challenges facing technology leaders and their approaches to managing bot traffic.

In our webinar, we will discuss how the increase in online activity has affected the bot landscape, and where ownership lies for the bot threat within in eCommerce, travel, online gaming and financial services. During the webinar, you will learn.

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.
