Course Overview
The Bot Manager Foundations course covers the current threat landscape, attacker motivations, & technical mitigation strategies for automated non-human (bot) attacks. These range from a single host running command-line scripts to distributed botnets actively trying to appear as legitimate clients. Attack types range from introductory page/price scraping to more advanced credential-stuffing attacks. The participants learn how our Bot Manager products detect & mitigate unwanted bots using AI models for user behaviour analysis & browser fingerprinting. The course demonstrates Akamai's Bot Manager Premier (BMP) product - how it can collect & evaluate different signals (network characteristics, device characteristics, & human interaction data) to determine if a human or an automated machine runs a browser session. The course covers the new Bot Score detection engine & how it helps manage False Positive/False Negative response balance. In addition to common mitigation strategies such as deny, tarpit & slow, students will also learn & implement advanced mitigation techniques such as conditional actions, CAPTCHA & crypto challenges in hands-on lab environments.
