Don’t give malicious bots a chance

Bot Management

Block malicious bots in the cloud before they reach your apps or APIs. Stop scraping, data theft, and brute-force logins so only legitimate requests get through.

Stop bots before they cause damage

Cybercriminals are increasingly using bots to attack your web applications and APIs – for example, through data theft, scraping, brute-force logins, or fraudulent account creation. With Link11 WAAP, you can reliably defend against these threats: Malicious traffic is stopped in the cloud before it even reaches your systems. The result: Only genuine traffic is allowed, your applications remain protected, responsive, and ready for use at all times.

Enjoy complete freedom in Bot Management settings

  • Flexibility & Control

    Choose which bots you want to allow (e.g., search engine crawlers) and all others will be blocked. Configure actions based on the type and origin of the bots, such as allow, block, provide custom responses, or flag for dashboards and logs.

  • Granular ACLs

    Finely grained access control lists (ACLs) block many bots with minimal computing effort, even before deep packet inspection begins. This allows you to filter requests based on geolocation or network usage (VPN, proxy, Tor, cloud platform, etc.).

  • Threat Intelligence Feeds

    Another method for resource-efficient bot filtering, based on feeds with current, known sources of malicious automated traffic. These threat intelligence feeds are regularly updated automatically with the latest data.

  • Client Verification

    Link11 detects and blocks headless browsers and emulators, going beyond outdated methods such as user agent validation and JavaScript injection. A range of advanced verification methods are used to ensure that you are dealing with legitimate users.

  • Biometric Analysis

    The technology continuously analyzes the activities and behavior of each requester in every session. Any malicious user (human or bot) will eventually deviate from the behavior of a legitimate user and will then be blocked by the system.

  • Configurable Enforcement Mechanisms

    In addition to automated biometric analysis, the system allows you to define and configure various other enforcement mechanisms, including advanced rate limiting, session flow control, and more, to give you even more configuration options.

Bot Management – Modern solution with account takeover protection

Traditional bot detection is no longer secure enough in today’s world—attacks evolve faster than static defenses, so security technologies must continuously adapt to new tactics, leverage real-time intelligence, and respond automatically to changing conditions.

Account Takeover

Account takeovers (ATO) are among the most serious threats to web applications. They compromise customer accounts, damage reputation, and can result in heavy fines. Because attackers use a variety of methods, ATOs are particularly difficult to defend against. Link11 WAAP reliably protects websites, applications, and APIs from takeover attacks, securing your customer and user accounts.

Protection against account takeover

Link11 WAAP blocks malicious traffic sources and provides comprehensive protection against attacks on access data—from theft, misuse, and brute force attempts to credential stuffing. Session attacks such as XSS, CSRF, or man-in-the-middle are also reliably blocked. In addition, the solution offers protection against OWASP Top 10 risks, API abuse, vulnerability scans, and other threats.

Traditional bot detection is no longer effective

Traditional bot protection methods such as reCAPTCHA or IP blocklists are easy to circumvent. Link11 relies on modern detection with client authentication and biometric analysis, stops automated attacks of all kinds, and provides reliable protection against data theft, scraping, and DDoS—fully managed, always up to date, and with 24/7 support.
