I think one of the concerns in our company was managing frauds, where we used to face multiple instances related to bots and other instances of VPNs, which we wanted to contain. In our company, we implemented Akamai Edge Platform. Our company's DNS routes through Akamai Cloud and then comes back into our production network. The tool filters and inspects the traffic, and then it reroutes back to us. One of the better experiences with Akamai is that it is PCI compliant. As my company accepts payments, we need to make sure that our vendors are also PCI compliant.

Bot manager consists of two versions: Bot Manager Standard and Bot Manager Premium. The Standard version handles regular requests, assessing for anomalies such as proper cookies, headers, and the legitimacy of the browsing source. It serves as protection against standard threats, allowing us to discern between genuine users and bots based on headers or cookies. On the other hand, Bot Manager Premium offers heightened security by delving into more advanced settings. This feature relies on a selection process. Akamai facilitates this by sending two types of cookies when accessing a specific page. One cookie operates as a short-term collector, gathering data during typical site browsing, while another serves as a long-term cookie, analyzing user behavior, including keyboard and mouse movements. This comprehensive approach enables the collection of behavioral telemetry for a more thorough understanding of user interactions with the site.
We use Akamai Bot Manager to onboard and secure our APIs from any kind of unprecedented attacks and create mitigation rules. We have APIs for different business functionalities.

The Akamai Bot Manager provides us with a variety of custom rules, such as whitelists and blocklists for specific bots. These rules are particularly useful as we work with numerous third-party vendors, each with its own unique use cases and incoming traffic. With the Bot Manager, we can effectively mitigate bot traffic while simultaneously allowing whitelisted traffic that we recognize as legitimate. Additionally, Akamai's identification of known and unknown bots is immensely beneficial as we better understand our traffic, including the volume of bot traffic. Overall, the Bot Manager is an essential tool for managing our traffic and ensuring that we maintain a strong client reputation.
