Akamai & Queue-it work in unison to stop bots
- Detect and categorize malicious traffic with high accuracy already in your waiting room
- Overcome bots' speed advantages with Queue-it's traffic control, giving Akamai Bot Manager more time & telemetry to identify bad actors
- Layer your defenses by combining Queue-it's suite of bots & abuse features with Akamai Bot Manager
- Keep detection invisible to prevent re-tooling and increase botters' compute resources
- Trigger mitigation only once the sale opens, after visitors are randomized and assigned a spot in queue
- Choose to hard block bots or force them to rejoin at the back of the first-in-first-out queue, behind genuine customers who arrived on time for the sale
