Bot Mitigation for API

Block Malicious API Calls and Ensure Edge-to-Endpoint Security

Attackers reverse engineer mobile and Web applications to hijack API calls, and program bots to invade your business APIs. They target APIs to take over accounts, scrape business-critical data, and perform application distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Bots deluge the API server with unwanted requests. It’s essential to accurately distinguish between good API calls and bad API calls for online businesses. Radware Bot Manager provides comprehensive protection for the full-stack of APIs, including IoT, machine-to-machine, Web, mobile, and serverless interfaces.

Safeguard APIs Against Malicious Requests, Account Takeover, Scraping, and DDoS

Real-time Protection Against API Vulnerabilities

Detecting malicious behavior on APIs is different than web and mobile applications. On APIs, the distinction is between ‘good’ API calls and ‘bad’ API calls. Radware Bot Manager is tuned to understand machine-to-machine communication and detect anomalies in behavior in web, mobile, and IoT APIs.
APIs are increasingly used to exchange data or to integrate with partners. Radware Bot Manager protects business-critical APIs against account takeover, web scraping, and application DDoS attacks to ensure secure access of data.
We leverage proprietary ML models including Authentication Flow Analysis for protecting your authentication APIs against account takeover (both credential stuffing and credential cracking) attacks. We also block attempts to bypass device profiling and direct API access to perform account takeover attacks.
Bot Manager blocks attempts to bypass device profiling and direct API access to perform account takeover attacks.
Reduces total API calls and unexpected surge in third-party API usage by filtering unauthorized requests.
Filters request from headless browsers (e.g., Phantom Js) and browser automation tools (e.g., Selenium), and block browser-not-present requests.

Advanced Mitigation Technology To Prevent API Abuse

Radware’s Client SDK for Machine-to-Machine API protection integrates into client libraries and collects several parameters from the interacting client devices to implement device fingerprinting and identifying authentic access patterns to block malicious access attempts.
Detects and filters unwanted traffic including requests from automation scripts. Analyzes each and every API request including metadata to identify anomalous behavior patterns and performs intent analysis to understand the actual intent behind an API request to filter bad API calls.
Radware analyzes API traffic for the right context and disallows direct access to APIs without a previous web transaction or invocation from a mobile device. The solution allows you to filter ‘bad’ API calls as soon as they initiate any communication.
Advanced browser and mobile integrity checks and fingerprinting can identify automation, emulators and attempts to reverse engineer the mobile SDKs. Radware Bot Manager provides rate limiting based on multiple parameters to prevent token cycling and token distribution.
Verifies traffic to the API server as well as mobile app server to ensure that only genuine users have access to your APIs.

Seamless Deployment

Deploy Radware Bot Manager as stand-alone protection for your APIs. You can also integrate with your existing security infrastructure and API management solution to ensure overall API security.
Radware Bot Manager's Bot Mitigation for APIs doesn’t require traffic redirection and can be seamlessly embedded into existing infrastructure using SDKs and web server plugins.
