BOTS & ABUSE PROTECTION

Serve real customers, not bad bots

Add visibility & control to your bot mitigation toolkit so you don’t leave your loyal customers empty-handed

Control your web traffic so you can control your bot problem

Protect your systems from massive bot spikes

Keep bots from hitting your sale with an unskippable queue
Prevent crashes & slowdowns from extreme load driven by bots
Control visitor flow to give other bot tools more time to identify malicious behavior & ensure their compute capacity isn’t overwhelmed

Add a security checkpoint to your multi-layered bot mitigation

Add a security checkpoint to your flow that gives you the chance to slow down bots & run security checks like Proof-of-Work challenges or data center hard blocking
Eliminate the speed & volume advantages bots rely on with pre-queue randomization & mitigation tactics
Drive up costs for bad actors by increasing the compute resources needed to keep bots in queue & lengthening the time before they know to re-tool

Focus on trusted visitors & filter out the rest

Proactively verify trusted visitors by tying waiting room access to a unique identifier like email address, user ID, or promo code
Keep out all bots, resellers, and visitors without an invite
Ensure each validated customer only gets one spot in the queue, limiting malicious behavior during your sale or registration

“Queue-it allows us to investigate traffic to work out where demand is coming from and whether it’s genuine. And if it isn’t, we can isolate it and put it in what I call IP jail. From a security perspective that’s crucial. It gives us the visibility and flexibility to act fast.”
