The biggest threats to your brand in 2021
Last year saw an unprecedented scale of cyber-attacks and data breaches facilitated and accelerated by Covid-19, from scalper bots targeting the PS5 launch to Twitter’s high-profile hack in July. Cybercriminals are upping the ante to capitalise on increased online activity, and automated technology is set to play a huge part in the defence against bot attacks in 2021.
The rising bot threat to media, marketplaces and video gaming
Over recent years, botnet attacks have hit platforms hard with their mass destruction approach to cyber-attacks. However, the tide has turned, and automated bot technology now makes targeted attacks infinitely quicker and simpler to carry out, exposing online gaming and streaming businesses to greater threats. The challenge lies in accurately identifying these highly targeted automated bot attacks that are designed to hide in plain sight, masquerading as genuine users, before they can carry out malicious activity such as credential stuffing, fake account creation and scraping.
Are APIs the Gateway for Credential Stuffing Attacks?
FinTechs have emerged as the digital-first answer to transforming the banking industry. Legislation such as the EU’s PSD2 and the UK’s Open Banking have cemented their place in the financial services environment, while removing much of the red tape that surrounds financial services to encourage collaboration and ensure security by design. Much of this collaboration is facilitated by open APIs, but what do we know about the API layer and security vulnerabilities that threaten your FinTech when it is exposed?
Who is responsible for bot management | Webinar series part-3
At Netacea, we wanted to know just how aware businesses are of bots and if they fully understand the threat to their organisation. Which roles are responsible, how confident are they in their bot mitigation strategies, and how well-placed is this confidence? We surveyed 200 enterprise businesses across travel, entertainment (including online gaming and streaming), e-commerce and financial services to get a broad picture of how bots are understood and protected against.
Have scraper bots outstayed their welcome on real estate listing sites?
Real estate is just one of many industries that was forced to quickly adapt to an increasingly online-first world in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Virtual viewings are now the norm, and real estate businesses are scrambling to keep up with how their competitors have changed approach. When looking for a property to buy or rent, we are now likely to search online and look through online listings in the first instance.
What are bots costing the financial services industry?
Netacea recently conducted a wide-ranging survey to uncover how much bots are really costing businesses. We compiled responses from 440 enterprise businesses spread across the US and UK, and have summed up our findings in an exclusive report, as well as an upcoming live webinar. Of all the sectors we surveyed, financial services was the industry most affected by API attacks, with 97% of businesses stating an API had been attacked by bots in 2020.
