Shape solutions leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning, among other technologies, to accurately determine in real-time if an application request is from a fraudulent source, and if so, effectively mitigate. As soon as new countermeasures are deployed, 5%-10% of attackers will typically attempt to retool and start a new attack. Shape solutions adapt and maintain full efficacy even as attackers evolve.
The world's leading banks, airlines, retailers, hotel chains, and federal agencies rely on Shape as their primary line of defense against sophisticated cybercrime.

| Author info | Rating | Review Summary |
|---|---|---|
| Cyber Security Engineer at Paysafe / IBM | 4.5 | I primarily use F5 Shape Security to block bot attacks for web users due to its easy configuration and automatic protection. However, I wish the solution allowed for more granular custom exclusion rules to avoid unwanted blocks without contacting support. |
| Client Manager at GBM | 4.0 | I found F5 Shape Security's performance to be its most valuable feature, but I think the tool's high price is a downside. |
