- [Netacea] New Trust Layer for classifying bot and agent traffic. Netacea added new capabilities for differentiating between legitimate and malicious machine-driven interaction on web properties. Our software analyses billions of behavioural signals in real time to help organisations reduce fraud, account takeover, scraping, abuse, and distorted digital signals, while giving them a clearer understanding of who, or what, is interacting with their services. Built for large-scale ecommerce, financial services, media, and other digital-first environments, Netacea’s server-side approach allows automated traffic to be classified before it reaches the application. This gives enterprises a stronger basis for decision-making, allowing them to permit and optimise access for trusted automation, increase scrutiny where trust is not yet established, and mitigate against malicious or unwanted activity.
