Beat the bots with F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We were facing a barrage of password spray attacks from bots. We were unable to distinguish between good and bad bots. The ASM only helped with rate limiting but did not help differentiate between human logins and automated logins. We used the Shape solution to do this and applied mitigation on the F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense portal. This has helped a great deal and we have scaled it to many other ecommerce platforms.

Pros

  • Baseline incoming traffic patterns
  • Clearly provide insights in sources of automated traffic
  • Excellent SOC support that alerts immediately

Cons

  • Remove the need for Irules to decorate traffic
  • Provide options to protect ecommerce applications that are NOT behind f5
  • AI assistant to explain the threats

Likelihood to Recommend

F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense is far superior to other products in the market. A lot of other solutions focus on DDOS mitigation using volumetric analysis but F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense trumps over them with respect to anomaly detection.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We recently rolled out XC and are utilizing WAF & WAAP which involves bot detection/defense.

Pros

  • Having a baseline offering that has automated detection is nice
  • I think that having all the telemetry available from the F5 XC backbone is a good idea, so customers can be keyed into all current legitimate threats

Likelihood to Recommend

Bot defense is well suited for POP/Edge defense for our perimeter network which is composed of several colocations.
