GUEST OPINION:  In our digital first economy, organisations hold a treasure trove of valuable data, including product catalogs, pricing models, customer reviews, dynamic content and more—all of which helps differentiate them from competitors. Today, this valuable currency is a prime target for malicious bot attacks. What makes the situation particularly concerning is that the easy accessibility to more advanced attack tools and generative AI models has enhanced bot evasion techniques to the extent that traditional security solutions are being rendered ineffective.

Content delivery network and cloud provider Akamai Technologies has released Content Protector, a product that is claimed to stop scraping attacks without affecting legitimate traffic to websites.
