Limelight Networks Launches Advanced Bot Manager To Help Companies To Defend Against Cyber Threats
Comprehensive Security Services Detect And Prevent Digital Content Around The World
With Cyberattacks
increasing in scope, sophistication and frequency, Limelight Networks, Inc.
(Nasdaq: LLNW),
a global leader in digital content delivery, today announced a new Advanced Bot
Manager option for its Limelight Web Application Firewall (WAF)
solution for protecting Digital Content.
Global Internet Traffic generated from bots is higher than
human-generated traffic, according to Mary Meeker’s annual internet trends
report. And more than half of bots are malevolent and
engaging in destructive activities such as seeking vulnerabilities on websites
and committing fraud, stealing corporate and personal data, and launching DDoS
attacks. At the same time, the internet depends on beneficial bots that power
search engines and digital assistants.
To address these issues, Limelight’s new Advanced Bot
Manager ensures maximum availability of web infrastructure by
automatically stopping bad bots and facilitating good bots so revenue
generating traffic is maintained. It also helps ensure fast customer
experiences by enabling ongoing monitoring and tuning of bot management
policies to protect web applications without impacting performance.
“There are constantly new threats trying to access sensitive content
and take down websites, plus global regulations to protect consumer data are
increasing,” said Steve Miller Jones, Senior
Director of Product Management at Limelight
Networks. “Add to that the fact that there’s a shortage of skilled
IT security personnel, making it difficult for companies to protect the
integrity of their websites and customer data. Our full range of security solutions are integrated into
our massive global private network infrastructure to help organizations secure
their web infrastructure and content without impacting website performance.”
Limelight
Cloud Security Services offer a layered defense against
malicious website attacks and unauthorized content access without impacting the
performance of web applications and content delivery. Limelight Web
Application Firewall protects web sites and web applications against malicious
HTTP application layer attacks that are intended to compromise web sites and
steal data.
Limelight DDoS Attack Interceptor protects against
denial of service attacks intended to overload Online services with large volumes
of malicious traffic. TLS/SSL capabilities encrypt data so it cannot
be intercepted in transit, and multiple content security methods such as
geo-fencing, URL tokenization, and IP address white and black listing are
available so only authorized users have access to content.
