The Business Logic Attack Definition Framework sets the stage for shared understanding and knowledge among vendors, cybersecurity professionals and customers who are proactively tackling an increasing number of malicious bot threats.

Once the attack stages for a scalper bot attack were confirmed, Netacea analysed the tactics, techniques and processes of other types of bot attacks and captured all automated bot threats and their lifecycles in a series of comprehensive kill chains.

"The threat landscape has been shrouded in ambiguity and misinformation for too long, and bot actors have taken advantage of it to cause significant damage which costs businesses globally," said Matthew Gracey-McMinn, Head of Threat Research at Netacea.

"Taking inspiration from the MITRE ATT&CK Framework, our ambition with BLADE is to silence the noise in the industry, provide security operation teams with a level of understanding and knowledge that has not yet been available, and empower those teams to detect and mitigate malicious bot attacks. Our goal? Help stop bots in their tracks - no matter who is doing the stopping."

Gracey-McMinn said as bot attacks grow in volume and sophistication, it's crucial that bot defence systems mature and develop to combat the evolving threat.

"Our latest survey, which will soon become available, found that on average it takes businesses three months to detect that a bot attack has occurred. This is in part due to the lack of a unified approach and shared language in the bot community and a lack of understanding around the methods and motivations behind bot attacks. The absence of methodology and framework has left the door open for threat actors to continually exploit businesses in a way that leads to reputational damage, lost revenue and skewed website analytics," he said.
