How CloudFilt stops Protection from automated threats
-
Headless browsers
The front script spots automation: headless Chrome, WebDriver, browsers that never run JavaScript.
-
Flood & brute force
Anti-flood thresholds per IP and per URL stop request bursts, credential stuffing and aggressive crawlers.
-
Scraping patterns
Crawlers harvesting your catalog or your prices hit the pages-per-minute threshold of your site.
From request to verdict
Each request is scored from the front and the back end, then allowed, challenged or blocked before it reaches your server.
-
Visitor
A browser, a script or a bot sends a request to your website or API.
-
Nearest point of presence
The CDN WAF, or your plugin, hands the request to the closest point of presence.
-
Signals
IP reputation, behaviour, rate, country and your own rules, weighed in real time.
-
Verdict
