About this audiobook
In The Reign of Botnets, fraud and bot detection expert David Senecal delivers a timely and incisive presentation of the contemporary bot threat landscape and the latest defense strategies used by leading companies to protect themselves. The author uses plain language to lift the veil on bots and fraud, making a topic critical to your website's security easy to understand and even easier to implement.
You'll learn how attackers think, what motivates them, how their strategies have evolved over time, and how website owners have changed their own behaviors to keep up with their adversaries. You'll also discover how you can best respond to patterns and incidents that pose a threat to your site, your business, and your customers.
The book includes:
● A description of common bot detection techniques exploring the difference between positive and negative security strategies and other key concepts
● A method for assessing and analyzing bot activity, to evaluate the accuracy of the detection and understand the botnet sophistication
● A discussion about the challenge of data collection for the purpose of providing security and balancing the ever-present needs for user privacy
