Archived: Busting Bots: How to Go Beyond Traditional CAPTCHA With Machine Learning
Bots are pesky, ill-natured, and often spiteful programs. Their capabilities constantly evolve in order to elude online defenses and take over consumer accounts. Advanced bot operations use malicious plug-ins, bot farms, and artificial intelligence to bypass and solve traditional CAPTCHA mechanisms. Ironically, traditional CAPTCHAs are often more of a deterrent for actual human users, who find them aggravating and invasive.
For e-commerce companies and website operators, a more dynamic and effective anti-fraud approach is overdue. This means introducing a more secure, user friendly, and privacy-compliant CAPTCHA mechanism that leverages machine learning (ML) to determine at each request if an entity is behaving as a genuine user or a suspicious bot.
Join this webinar to learn...
- How malicious bots are evolving and the impact on the efficacy of traditional CAPTCHAs.
- How machine learning can assist CAPTCHA in weeding out bots based on signature detection, traffic patterns, IP address analysis, and online session behavior.
- How to make CAPTCHA mechanisms user friendly and discouraging for cybercriminals.
- Why CAPTCHA must constantly evolve to keep up with new threats.
