Cloudflare Bot Management Now On IBM Cloud Internet Services To Mitigate Malicious Bots


KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 9 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc has announced that IBM Cloud Internet Services (CIS), has expanded its offering to include Cloudflare Bot Management, to help enterprises on the Enterprise Premier Plan address and combat the growing threat of malicious bot traffic.


According to a statement, Cloudflare and IBM Cloud have been working together since 2018, integrating Cloudflare application security and performance natively into IBM Cloud through IBM CIS, powered by Cloudflare.


CIS positions customers to configure their web and Internet applications to be protected against cyber threats including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and data theft, while enhancing performance and reliability with load balancing, optimised routing and caching, and data exchange, as part of the CIS suite of capabilities.


Cloudflare Global Head of Channels and Alliances, Matt Harrell said: “Cloudflare and IBM Cloud Internet Services have been helping power the vast increase of Internet-facing business applications, and we are seeing more and more bot activity across the landscape.


“Malicious bots are part of this equation, posing significant risks and causing inefficiencies in business, from fraudulent transactions to fake attempts to make purchases.


“These malicious activities can deprive legitimate customers from making purchases and affect a business’ bottom line, not to mention potential larger risks of data loss. This is a further effort to protect operations at this critical level.”


Meanwhile, IBM Fellow and Chief Technology Officer, Cloud Security, Nataraj Nagaratnam said: “Both IBM and Cloudflare continue to have a mission of delivering solutions that will address costly security threats, without hindering Internet speed or business innovation.”


With Cloudflare Bot Management, businesses can be protected from targeted application abuse such as credential stuffing, inventory hoarding, carding abuse, and content scraping, as part of the complete Bot Management detection and mitigation offering.


Cloudflare Bot Management enables customers to identify malicious bots through effective machine learning; gain enhanced behavioural analysis of types of Internet traffic; and reduce risk through fingerprinting.
