Cloud Bot defense is great for protecting all cloud assets. It is near impossible to have employees monitor these resources each and every second of the day. Criminals do not sleep, so why should our defenses? Having the bots monitoring gives round-the-clock protection and security.

Cons
F5
  • 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.

Because we have been using this product for over a year, we like this and we want to use it for the other department also. So I definitely recommend it to other customers or the vendors to use this F5.

Return on Investment
F5
  • [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.
