Bot attacks are increasingly sophisticated cyber threats that leverage automated software to infiltrate systems, steal credentials, and manipulate digital services on a large scale. These attacks are diverse, targeting various vectors such as credential stuffing, web scraping, account takeovers, and DDoS attacks, and can cause significant operational, financial, and reputational damage to organizations. The proliferation of generative AI, botnets-as-a-service, and vulnerable APIs has fueled the growth and complexity of bot attacks, which now constitute a significant portion of internet traffic. To combat these threats, organizations must adopt advanced detection and prevention strategies, including device fingerprinting, risk-based authentication, network-level monitoring, and specialized bot protection integrations. Descope offers a platform to integrate authentication, authorization, and identity management with tools like Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to enhance bot defense in user authentication flows.
