Great AI protection of Cloud Services.
Needing a way to actively monitor cloud resources is a must in these times. It is difficult to keep an eye on everything for out-of-the-ordinary behavior and then act upon it at the same time. Cloud Bot Defense helps to monitor these resources and act using its AI to analyze the traffic and respond. It even detects retooling of the attack and continues to defend.
- Ease of use and deployment.
- Quickness of support's replies.
- Great documentation.
- None at this time.
- Quicker responses to issue.
- Lower cost in employee effort.
There have not been any detectible performance hits once Cloud Bot Defense was implemented. Alerting is low, which is a good thing, and it is almost set and forgotten. This frees up everyone to deal with other tasks and just keep an eye on the cloud services versus just staring at them, hoping to catch something going on.

We use [F5] Shape [Security] to protect against automated threats to our digital environment, supplementing other F5 controls. We manage the deployment in the cybersecurity org for various IT assets.
- Strong anti-bot protection against middle-level threats
- Analysis and alerting on known problem areas
- Customer support - before and after installation, [F5] Shape [Security] has supported us actively to see the product realize value.
- On a technical side, we've had a lot of deployment issues. This is not a one-sprint solution.
- We ran into undocumented failure modes and had to rely on L2 and L3 customer support, delaying troubleshooting significantly [in our experience].
- Accurate log ingestion is a larger challenge than one would want in a security tool.
- [F5] Shape [Security] established a clear negative trend line in bot traffic to our retail site.
- [F5] Shape [Security's] anti-automation has moved our business out of reach for ROI for attackers.
- So far, [F5] Shape [Security] has not caused any incidents as a technology, and has stifled attacks which would have certainly landed as a Sev 2 without this protection.
Most customers don't see [F5] Shape [Security], and that's the point. It's certainly mitigated fraud on our platform by assisting in our battle with bots and credential stuffing. While possible to circumvent, [F5] Shape [Security] has certainly moved the bar up significantly for required technical expertise of a potential attacker. For an already somewhat bloated app, we don't see any performance impact, though it has caused significant uptick in log size given our initial "dumb" deployment.
