Imperva Advanced Bot Protection

Imperva Advanced Bot Protection (formerly Distil Networks) is a market-leading bot mitigation and anti-fraud solution engineered to defend enterprise websites, mobile apps, and APIs against sophisticated automated threats. Leveraging deep behavioral biometrics, device fingerprinting, and machine learning telemetry, the platform accurately distinguishes human visitors from evasive bad bots that execute credential stuffing, web scraping, account takeovers (ATO), and inventory scalping without introducing friction to legitimate customers.

The solution operates by analyzing client-side interactions in real time, inspecting browser execution quirks, mouse dynamics, touch events, and network attributes. Key technical capabilities include dynamic cryptographic challenges, invisible client-side CAPTCHAs, automated token validation, machine learning threat modeling, and granular classification across search engine crawlers, commercial partner bots, and malicious botnets. When automated abuse is detected, the platform dynamically responds with hard blocks, tarpitting (rate throttling), deceptive honeytoken feeds, or multi-factor challenges, stopping automated fraud before requests hit backend databases.

Imperva Advanced Bot Protection integrates natively with Imperva Cloud WAF, AWS CloudFront, Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, and leading customer identity suites like Okta. Common enterprise use cases include stopping credential stuffing attacks during login bursts, protecting retail flash sales from scalper bots, safeguarding proprietary airline ticket pricing from competitive scrapers, and mitigating gift card brute-forcing. Imperva Advanced Bot Protection delivers industry-leading bot mitigation efficacy and seamless user experiences.
