How would you explain to a common web user why online bots can be potentially dangerous threats?
Cybercriminals, fraudsters and even competitors can use bots to do their evil bidding. Malicious bots can carry out specific actions such as generating duplicate accounts, engaging in user generated content SPAM, creating fraudulent transactions, or breaking into existing user accounts.
Bots and non-human traffic are even responsible for billions of dollars per year in advertisement & click fraud. Bot Detection sounds complicated, but IPQS has made it just another challenge easily solved with our anti-fraud tools.
Is the email address verification or spam trap service like a security layer that prevents phishing attacks?
While our Email Address Verification and spam trap detection heightens security against low quality users, other abuse, and protects your Email’s sender score; our Malicious URL Scanner is the perfect solution for preventing phishing attacks.
IPQualityScore Users can scan URLs for malware to detect poor reputation domains, suspicious links, and phishing URLs with a real-time API that can be integrated directly into their site, SOAR, or other third party software. With IPQS users can detect zero-day phishing links and newly setup domains, even before other services have had a chance to analyze the URL.
How can you develop a cybersecurity product that has to tackle so many needs and also organizations from different industries, sizes, concerns…?
Simple through our deep understanding, complex research, and sophisticated algorithms maintained by our internal security teams which consist of former NSA agents. IPQualityScore’s research and analysis never stops, we are always up to date on the most sophisticated trends and update our network and tools for optimal detection at all times.
