1.1 Brief Introduction
Bot Shield is a comprehensive Bot management solution. It allows site and application owners to easily differentiate between human traffic and bot traffic, and then again between beneficial bots and malicious ones. Bot Shield mitigates automated attacks, fraud, and abuse of resources by blocking malicious bots effectively, without disrupting the user experience of legitimate human users. Bot Shield is used by customers in multiple different industries to identify and block attacks and abuses such as Ticket scalping and deny of inventory, scraping, brute force and account take over, fraudulent registrations, malicious vulnerability scanning, carding and more.

1.3 How It Works
Bot Shield is deployed on CDNetworks’ distributed Points-of-Presence (PoPs) as a cloud-based solution. Bot Shield uses multiple technologies to identify and block bot attacks. It uses browser detection and human behavior sensors to monitor entire sessions and then applies both hidden and visible challenge-response themes to block suspicious traffic and protect the user experience by reducing false positives.
