Detect and mitigate attacks with API protection

Compliance with standards like those in Europe often requires ensuring that APIs adhere to OAuth and other security protocols. Many organizations need to verify that their APIs meet these compliance requirements. We can include information about where an API was first recorded and create a detailed chart. Some competitors already offer this feature. It is simple to integrate. Overall, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

Boosts efficiency and reduces operational costs with effective IP tracking

The best features of Radware Bot Manager, as a client, include the reporting because it is easy to understand, easy to read, and easy to get developers or system engineers to understand what they need to implement to secure either a web form or an API, anything similar to that. Radware Bot Manager has positively impacted our organization because we had masses of scans that took place against certain addresses, allowing us to identify those either good or bad. For instance, when the marketing team contacted a scraping company to get more clicks to the website without informing the technical team, we were able to block the source IP address and the marketing team then started collaborating with the development and operational teams to ensure that the correct information is passed on to engineers to get it.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It uses machine learning algorithms to detect attacks and manage API inventory."

"The ShieldSquare bot mitigation solution helps us to avert product and price scraping attempts by malicious bots, and they not only help us eliminate the bot attacks, but they also provide us with comprehensive reports on bots intent and their activity on our site while ensuring that genuine users are not affected in the complete process."

"The support from Radware is excellent."

"The solution provides a rating of the sophistication of the bot attack."

"I like how Bot Manager intelligently detects automated tools. If it allows some requests through, identifies them quickly, and contains them effectively. It has an advantage over other solutions because it understands much more quickly that it is an automated process and begins to mitigate it a little more quickly."

"Bot Manager is an excellent tool for analyzing traffic to detect suspicious patterns. It uses artificial intelligence to identify malicious behavior."

"Radware Bot Manager has positively impacted our organization because we had masses of scans that took place against certain addresses, allowing us to identify those either good or bad."

"I like how Bot Manager automatically detects when a suspicious user attempts to download content from your website."

"Bot Manager's behavioral modeling and intelligence help us distinguish between harmless and malicious bots."

More Radware Bot Manager pros

Cons

"It is expensive."

"Bot Manager is doing its job, but I think the behavioral modeling could be improved by adding fingerprinting and automation. Remediation should be automated so that it doesn't require any intervention by the user."

"Radware's pricing is generally expensive. This could be a deterrent for smaller organizations."

"We're missing links to their modules for installation and configuration. They have most of them available already, but there were situations for mobile applications that, when they released a new version, were not stable. We had to ask them to send a link by email, and that could be made accessible in the portal."

"While the interface is simple, they could add the ability to upload lists of IPs in an Excel spreadsheet. If there are two or three IPs, it's easy to add them. You have a graphical option to log in and register your IP, but if you want to upload 50 IPs, it becomes more complicated because there are 50 steps. Also, Radware could simplify the implementation of SDK, which is a bit complicated. Radware should work on making the SDK part more efficient."

"Radware Bot Manager is a little costly but not too expensive. It's in the middle."

"It would be good to have more integrations. It's very hard to get data in and out of their portal. It doesn't have any integrations with any of our tools, such as our SIEM tool. It only depends on emails. Having that tied into the warehouse, SIEM, and maybe our on-call tools would be very helpful because it would just give us a holistic picture of everything."

"Maybe people who are new to it, or haven't used anything similar before, might say that the configuration is a bit difficult unless you're a technical person who understands the flow or the URL environment."

"Only improvements could be made with the reporting down to a page level."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"It is fairly priced."

"We pay a fair price for each application we wish to protect."

"We negotiated a decent price with Radware that fits into our budget. It's a five-year license, so we get a good price and don't need to renew for several years."
