Edgio unveiled Premier Bot Manager, an advanced bot management solution that protects organisations from increasingly complex automated threats. The new solution offers improved detection, AI-powered threat intelligence and detailed categorisation of known and unknown bot attacks, giving organisations comprehensive visibility and protection against bots such as login abusers, scrapers and DDoS attackers.

Important findings

  • Dedicated AI models: Tailor-made models for individual customer traffic profiles.
  • Improved classification of known bots: Detailed insights into the behavior of known bots.
  • Bot Score Threat Intelligence: Contextualized classification of unknown bots with a damage score.
  • JA4+ Detection: Using the latest TLS fingerprints to identify threat actors.

Edgio builds on the success of its previous advanced bot management solution, which was widely adopted at its launch. The Premier Bot Manager offers a more differentiated and customizable approach to managing bot traffic. By analyzing the behavior and intent of bots, the solution applies advanced classification techniques, the latest JA4+ device fingerprints and custom AI models to accurately identify and mitigate automated threats.

Functions of the Premier Bot Manager

  1. Dedicated AI models: These models are specifically tailored to the traffic profiles of individual customers and offer greater efficiency against advanced, persistent bots.
  2. Improved classification of known bots: Bots are differentiated granularly by use case, such as SEO, image scraping, AI, monitoring, etc., giving security teams detailed insights into the behavior of known bots and granular control over them.
  3. Bot Score Threat Intelligence: This feature provides additional classifications (e.g. login overload, scraping, etc.) and context for unknown bots with a damage score, allowing for better decision-making and more effective mitigation measures.
  4. JA4+ Detection: This technology uses the latest Transport Layer Security (TLS) fingerprints to identify and control threat actors across different layers of Edgio security solutions.

Quote from the CEO

“Bot attacks pose a significant threat to online businesses, and the emergence of advanced techniques requires the next level of protection,” said Todd Hinders, CEO of Edgio. “Premier Bot Manager combines cutting-edge technologies from our internal AI capabilities to create a solution that detects, classifies and mitigates bot traffic using behavioural and signature-based techniques. This allows our customers to stay ahead of malicious actors while maintaining application performance.”

The Premier Bot Manager is fully integrated with Edgio’s Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) platform and works in conjunction with existing security layers such as Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS protection, API security and client-side protection for a holistic approach to web security. Low-latency edge deployment ensures that security measures are enforced without compromising speed, keeping customer applications fast and secure.

With a simple deployment process and predictable pricing model based on web properties rather than traffic volume, the Premier Bot Manager provides organizations with a scalable, cost-effective solution to combat evolving automated threats.
