Starting with this version, Radware’s Bot Manager protection can be set per virtual service. Bot Manager protection provides comprehensive protection of Web applications and mobile apps from automated threats such as bots. Bot Manager provides precise bot management across all channels by combining behavioral modeling for granular intent analysis, collective bot intelligence and fingerprinting of browsers, devices and machines. It protects against all forms of account takeover (such as credential stuffing and brute force), denial of inventory, DDoS, and payment fraud, and Web scraping to help organizations safeguard and grow their online operations.

When a client request reaches an application in Alteon which is protected by Bot Manager, Alteon extracts information from the request headers and sends this information via a sideband connection to the Bot Manager endpoint. Alteon then acts according to the Bot Manager response, either Allowing the request, Blocking it, or challenging the user with a captcha test.

Alteon Bot Manager protection is available in either Active or Report-only mode. Detailed Bot Manager analytics is available at the Bot Manager portal (a direct link is available from the Alteon WBM).

For the integrated Bot Manager to function, you must have at minimum the Perform package, and you must have a Standalone Bot Manager license.
