About the product

Advanced Bot Protection defends mission-critical websites, mobile apps, and APIs from automated threats - bad bots - without affecting the flow of business-critical traffic.

Bad bots are purpose-built to attack organizations’ websites and mobile apps through web scraping, account takeover, transaction fraud, denial of service, competitive data mining, unauthorized vulnerability scans, spam, click fraud, and web and mobile API abuse.

A unique security concern, the bot problem is focused on abuse of business functionality rather than finding and exploiting vulnerabilities.

About the team

We are a team of programmers based around Stockholm, responsible for developing real-time bot detection software, data processing pipelines, and customer-facing tools. Our team works according to modern development practices and our main language is Rust. We also have frontends, and browser/mobile SDKs for Android and iOS. We operate a global infrastructure and deploy daily, and we work closely with data scientists and cybersecurity threat researchers.
