Malicious Bot Mitigation and Protection

Web applications are often targeted by malicious bots that attempt to scrape content, perform credential stuffing, linitiate DDoS attacks, or exploit application logic. These automated threats can degrade performance, compromise data integrity, and increase security risks.

MaxiSafe mitigates such threats by detecting and blocking abnormal access patterns and unauthorised automation attempts. Through behaviour-based analysis and dynamic token validation, it ensures application resources are protected from automated abuse while maintaining a seamless experience for legitimate users.

Steps:
  1. Go to Bot Management and create a new bot management rule. By default, Dynamic Token Protection is enabled, which helps block requests from malicious bots or automated tools.
  2. Enable Anti-Debugging to prevent users from running debugging tools for hacking attempts.
  3. Under Browser Interrogation, configure the necessary behaviour analysis to differentiate the legitimate and malicious requests.
