Comprehensive security services detect and prevent digital content
around the world
TEMPE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
With cyberattacks increasing in scope, sophistication and frequency,
Limelight Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: LLNW),
a global leader in digital content delivery, today announced a new Advanced
Bot Manager option for its Limelight Web Application Firewall (WAF)
solution for protecting digital content.
Global internet traffic generated from bots is higher than
human-generated traffic, according to Mary Meeker’s annual internet
trends report. And more than half of bots are malevolent and
engaging in destructive activities such as seeking vulnerabilities on
websites and committing fraud, stealing corporate and personal data, and
launching DDoS attacks. At the same time, the internet depends on
beneficial bots that power search engines and digital assistants.
To address these issues, Limelight’s new Advanced Bot Manager ensures
maximum availability of web infrastructure by automatically stopping bad
bots and facilitating good bots so revenue generating traffic is
maintained. It also helps ensure fast customer experiences by enabling
ongoing monitoring and tuning of bot management policies to protect web
applications without impacting performance.
“There are constantly new threats trying to access sensitive content and
take down websites, plus global regulations to protect consumer data are
increasing,” said Steve Miller Jones, Senior Director of Product
Management at Limelight Networks. “Add to that the fact that there’s a
shortage of skilled IT security personnel, making it difficult for
companies to protect the integrity of their websites and customer data.
Our full range of security solutions are integrated into our massive
global private network infrastructure to help organizations secure their
web infrastructure and content without impacting website performance.”
Limelight
Cloud Security Services offer a layered defense against malicious
website attacks and unauthorized content access without impacting the
performance of web applications and content delivery. Limelight Web
Application Firewall protects web sites and web applications against
malicious HTTP application layer attacks that are intended to compromise
web sites and steal data. Limelight DDoS Attack Interceptor protects
against denial of service attacks intended to overload online services
with large volumes of malicious traffic. TLS/SSL capabilities encrypt
data so it cannot be intercepted in transit, and multiple content
security methods such as geo-fencing, URL tokenization, and IP address
white and black listing are available so only authorized users have
access to content.
