New bot management solution
Limelight Networks, Inc., a global leader in content delivery, has announced the launch of a new Advanced Bot Manager option for its Limelight Web Application Firewall (WAF) solution that protects digital content from cyberattacks.
According to Mary Meeker's annual Internet Trend Report, the majority of global internet traffic is generated by bots and not by humans. More than half of these bots are malicious and are used for destructive activities. This includes spying on website vulnerabilities, fraud, theft of personal and company data or DDoS attacks. At the same time, however, the internet relies on useful bots to operate search engines and digital assistants.
To counteract these problems, Limelight's new Advanced Bot Manager ensures maximum availability of the web infrastructure. It automatically stops poorly performing bots and supports functioning bots. This maintains the transmission of business-relevant data traffic even when traffic is high. In addition, the new bot management solution ensures a positive user experience. Bot management is constantly monitored and updated so that web applications can be maintained without compromising performance.
"There are constantly new attacks on confidential content and attempts to paralyze websites. In addition, the number of regulations to protect personal data is increasing worldwide," says Steve Miller-Jones, Senior Director of Product Management at Limelight Networks. "In addition, there is currently a significant shortage of trained IT security professionals. This makes it difficult for companies to maintain the integrity of their websites and customer data. Our entire portfolio of security solutions is integrated into our comprehensive global network infrastructure. This helps companies to secure their web infrastructure and content without compromising website performance."
Limelight Cloud Security Services provide multi-layered protection against hacker attacks and unauthorized access without limiting the performance of web applications and content delivery. The Limelight Web Application Firewall protects websites and applications against attacks at the HTTP application level. The aim of these attacks is to paralyze websites and steal data. The Limelight DDoS Attack Interceptor protects against denial of service attacks designed to flood online services with high volumes of malicious traffic. TLS/SSL functions encrypt data so that it cannot be accessed during the transmission process. Other data security methods such as geo-fencing, URL tokenization and a black-and-white list of IP addresses ensure that unauthorized users cannot access content.
