Bot Detection and Mitigation
THE FIRST EASY AND ACCURATE WAY TO DEFEND WEBSITES AGAINST MALICIOUS BOTS
Bots are the key culprits behind web scraping, online fraud, web application security breaches, content spam, digital ad fraud and downtime. But dealing with the problem manually can be a tedious game of whack-a-mole. Web Application Firewalls and Intrusion Detection Systems were never designed to police the volume, variety and sophistication of today’s bots and botnets.
The Distil Networks difference? Ease-of-use and accuracy. Distil’s self-optimizing protection leverages machine learning algorithms and the world’s largest Known Violators Database to distribute attack information out to all Distil-protected sites.

INSIGHT AND CONTROL OVER MALICIOUS TRAFFIC
Distil Networks gives you complete visibility and control over human, good bot, and bad bot website traffic. Block 99.9% of malicious bots without impacting legitimate users.
- Remove bot traffic from your website to see pure human user load that’s well-shaped and predictable
- See how your traffic will be affected when dialing up or down rate limits such as pages per minute, pages per session, and session length
- View threats by country, organization, and traps, then block offending IPs, countries and competitors
- Choose your bot response: Record traffic to Distil and/or your own server logs; serve a hardened CAPTCHA or unblock verification form; or drop them outright via an access denied page
PROACTIVE DEFENSE THROUGH MACHINE LEARNING
Today’s bots represent a new generation of attacks, rapidly shifting profiles and targets, and outpacing traditional solutions’ ability to adapt. Distil Networks chases the bots so you don’t have to. Each Distil customer benefits from a proactive defense posture supported by a global machine learning infrastructure that analyzes attack patterns in real time.
Distil proactively predicts a bot based on correlating dozens of dynamic classifications as well as pinpoints behavioral anomalies specific to your site’s unique traffic patterns. This is in stark contrast to the reactive, rules-based approach inherent to web application firewalls.
THE ONLY HI-DEF DEVICE FINGERPRINT IN THE BOT MITIGATION INDUSTRY
Distil Hi-def fingerprinting goes well beyond IP- and header-centric identification by analyzing over 200 additional device attributes. Hi-def fingerprints stick to the bot even if it attempts to reconnect from random IP addresses, or hide behind peer-to-peer networks and anonymous proxies.
With Distil, you’ll see fewer false positives, and have the confidence to not just throttle malicious traffic, but to block it outright.
REAL-TIME UPDATES FROM THE WORLD’S LARGEST KNOWN VIOLATORS DATABASE
When one domain is attacked, Distil Networks gathers the attack information and distributes it back out to all Distil-protected sites. Distil has identified millions of malicious fingerprints to ensure that no offending user is ever let back in.
In addition, Distil curates threat intelligence feeds from third party fraud, spam, malware and proxy lists--all of which is updated to protect customers in real-time.
ADVANCED BROWSER VALIDATION DETECTS SOPHISTICATED SCRAPERS AND BROWSER AUTOMATION TOOLS
Sophisticated web scrapers claim to be one browser type then rapidly cycle through user agents to escape detection. Distil’s Advanced Browser Validation identifies the malicious behavior and blocks it.
Even browser automation tools like Selenium and PhantomJS can’t escape Distil’s detection, because Distil’s deep interrogation validates there is a human behind the browser.
