F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense (formerly Shape Defense, acquired January 2020) provides security to protect a website from bots, fake users, and unauthorized transactions, preventing large scale fraud and eroded user experiences. Companies get visibility, detection and mitigation outcomes to reduce fraud and cloud hosting, bandwidth and compute costs, improve user experiences, and optimize their business based on real human traffic.
One of the ways SEON works is by preventing payment fraud and bonus abuse. SEON can verify users in real-time by analyzing digital footprints, device data, and behavioral patterns to identify high-risk transactions. It also detects chargeback. In my daily work task, I come across players who are unable to purchase due to these Chargeback errors and with SEON working on clean and on time, the issue is addressed in a timely manner and can be escalated. It stops the player from making additional purchase which could put our company at a disadvantage, in case player continues to file Chargeback, so we have control over the purchases and can have the issue rectified early and effectively.
I'd strongly recommend it, but with a few caveats depending on how mature the team is with behavioral based security tools. One of our fintech clients was getting hit with low volume, widely spread login attempts, below our rate limiting thresholds. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense was able to flag abnormal input timings, inconsistent device fingerprinting and high entropy in field population behavior. You can only imagine the wave of downstream account lockouts this saved the client. On the other end we had a client with a real time trading platform using Graphql over websockets. F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense wasn't able to tap into that stream natively. we had to reverse engineer a proxy layer to inspect events. It worked but it was clunky and not officially supported

Industry best Threat Briefings
Not only is F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense great at stopping the advanced bot attacks, they also have protection against any tampering or replay attacks.
very disappointed that they more than doubled their pricing within just 5 weeks, especially after being a loyal customer for 4 years. In my opinion, the new pricing is unreasonable for startups, and they refused to adjust it by even a dollar.
Official support can sometimes take time to reach the right people. However, once you are in contact with the appropriate experts, the support is excellent, as F5 staff are true specialists. On the other hand, we always receive prompt assistance from our local sales team, who typically help us connect with the right people quickly.
Implementation of Distributed Cloud is accomplished a few different ways, it would pay to meet with the F5 team and map out your implementation prior to acquisition to make sure you Infrastructure and Operations teams are aligned to the approach and requirements.
SEON: Offers real-time fraud detection with advanced digital footprinting, device fingerprinting, and behavioral analytics. Analyzes data from multiple sources (email, phone, IP address, social media) to build detailed user profiles. Customizable risk scoring and rule-setting allow businesses to tailor fraud prevention to their specific needs. ACOMS Risk Assessment: Typically focuses on risk assessment in financial transactions, often with more rigid and pre-configured parameters. May not provide the same level of granular control or real-time insights for businesses outside traditional finance. Advantage: SEON’s broader and more flexible features make it a better fit for industries beyond traditional finance, such as e-commerce, gaming, and subscription services.
Clodflare bot management was our other obvious option for us. We tested it on a staging version of our RFQ platform. It was great for broad traffic filtering but had a hard time with nuanced differences between real subcontractors and low volume bots mimickingt human input whereas that's where F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense thrived
