The company claims to be one of the few that analyses each traffic request in real-time, employing techniques such as vulnerability scanning rules, device fingerprinting, and behavioral analysis, and claims to process over 3 trillion data signals every day.

According to one study, malicious bots account for 27.7% of all web traffic. Web scraping, competitive data mining, personal and financial data collecting, scalping, account takeover fraud, spam, and transaction fraud are some of the actions carried out by these bots.
