F5 protects websites with the new security solution Silverline Shape Defense from the increasing flood of fake Internet traffic. With this new, fully managed service, companies can protect themselves against bots, credential stuffing, scraping and other automated attacks that lead to fraud and abuse. This in turn prevents loss of efficiency, loss of revenue and brand damage.
Silverline Shape Defense uses artificial intelligence to determine in real time exactly whether an application request is from a human or a bot. The solution also differentiates between a malicious actor and an authorized person. This approach stops malicious traffic without causing any hassle or delays in logging in legitimate users. Companies benefit from lower losses from online fraud, lower operating costs and an improved user experience. Silverline Shape Defense leverages the power of the entire Shape network, which blocks over a billion application attacks every day.
With the introduction of Silverline Shape Defense, customers can now protect their applications with an integrated, comprehensive set of fully managed security solutions. These also include Silverline DDoS Protection, Silverline Web Application Firewall and Silverline Threat Intelligence.
"By adding Shape Defense to Silverline, our customers can protect their applications and digital initiatives from malicious cyberattacks without the hassle of a large security team like a typical Fortune 500 company," said Gail Coury, VP and GM from Silverline at F5. “F5's security services, managed by Silverline, not only improve application security and performance, but also bridge the shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals. This is necessary to fend off the latest cyber threats in real time. "
