The State of Bot Attacks in 2020 | Bot Management Review Series Part 1

Sep 28, 2021

In 2020 the poor security of other businesses is now very much, your problem. While you might be protecting your customers’ credentials with the best possible security, lax measures elsewhere mean those very same credentials are readily accessible for purchase.

Increasingly sophisticated bots are used to validate the millions of stolen credentials against login forms. And yet, these bots are no longer only targeting high-value goods and accounts but hijacking and selling streaming and food delivery accounts.

At Netacea, we wanted to know just how aware businesses are of bots and if they fully understand the threat to their businesses. Which roles are responsible, how confident are they in their bot mitigation strategies, and how well-placed is this confidence?

We surveyed 200 enterprise businesses across travel, entertainment (including online gaming and streaming), e-commerce and financial services to get a broad picture of how bots are understood and protected against.

In our series of three live webinars, we will be discussing the results of our survey in the context of the bot threat landscape in 2020.
