The Role of Bots in API Attacks

According to ZDNet, 20% of all traffic to web applications comes from malicious bots. Botnets allow attackers to work faster and more effectively, distributing and automating the attack across hundreds of thousands of individual bots. If there is a vulnerable API, a threat actor will find it and exploit it—unless you can stop them first.

Download this eBook to understand how the next generation of bot attacks can bypass legacy web application firewalls (WAFs) and web apps and how APIs are specifically targeted for their valuable business logic and weaknesses.

In this eBook you’ll learn about:

• The three ways in which bots are used against APIs
