Bots Drain Businesses of Time and Money

Bad bots now account for nearly half of all web traffic. Advancements in offensive AI make them more effective and damaging than ever. Traditional defenses can’t control the business impact of bots. Netacea’s defensive AI fixes that.

The Business Problem

Offensive AI Makes Bad Bots Worse

Rapid advances in offensive AI are making bot attacks harder to stop and more damaging to their targets. They react instantly to defenses, are more widely available to amateur adversaries, and can attack at huge volume without rest.

  1. Offensive AI Makes Attacks Smarter

    AI lowers the barrier to entry for bot operators. Novices are now experts, experts are now geniuses.
  2. Offensive AI Makes Attacks Adaptable

    AI cuts the time bots need to change tactics and bypass defenses. Retooling attacks now takes seconds, not hours.
  3. Offensive AI Makes Attacks Aggressive

    Without need for human intervention, bots are free to attack concurrently in higher volumes.
  4. Offensive AI Makes Attacks Relentless

    Unlike human attackers, AI never tires and never gives up. Time and resources are no longer constraints for bot attacks.
The Business Problem

Bots Quickly Drain Revenues

Infrastructure wasted serving bot traffic, frustrated customers never returning, fraudulent transactions – Bots steadily drain revenue, and constantly dealing with them steals budget away from other projects.

The Business Problem

Bot Defenses Take Time to Manage

Investigating bot attacks and mitigating the damage they cause takes time away from running your business. So does deploying, updating and configuring traditional bot defenses that can’t keep pace with increasingly complex attacks.

The Business Problem

Bot Impacts are Hidden

Attackers hide bot activity within normal traffic so they can continue indefinitely. This financial impact accrues steadily over time, adding up to huge losses across multiple areas of business.

Death By a Billion Bots

Death By a Billion Bots

Bots eat away at revenues 24/7 and typically take four months to detect. Our research shows this costs 4.3% of online turnover ($85.6 million for the average enterprise) – or as much as:

  • The 8th largest GDPR fine ever issued
  • 57 average ransomware demands
  • 19x more than the average cost of a data breach
