How can you protect your APIs from bots and bot attacks? Keep reading to learn effective ways for API bot detection and protection.

Why is the risk of bot cyberattacks on APIs so high and common? 40% of organizations reported that more than half of their applications are exposed to third-party services or the internet owing to APIs.

Organizations find it difficult to distinguish between human and bot activities and between good and bad bots, severely limiting their ability to protect APIs against bot attacks.

To protect APIs against bots, you cannot stop with real-time detection; you must be able to block bad bots from gaining access to APIs and mission-critical assets that APIs often expose.

Intelligent API bot management tools determine whether to allow, block, flag, or challenge incoming API requests based on real-time insights and signals.

To effectively protect APIs from bot attacks, leverage AppTrana's API Protection, an advanced, comprehensive, and risk-based API-specific security solution.
