Service Description
This three (3) hours course introduces participants into the complex Internet ecosystem that must be understood when developing detection strategies. We then cover the most common scenarios involving botnets including web scraping, credential stuffing, account takeover, account opening abuses, and scalping. When facing resistance, bot operators react by evolving their bot evasion strategy. We'll review common botnet architectures and the six stage of their evolution. Finally, we'll discuss the basics of bot detection, contrasting the negative and positive security model but also the transparent and interactive detection models. At the end of the session, participants will be able to: - Describe the different types of client that exist on the internet (browsers, AI agents, apps, IoT devices) and how they affect the detection strategy - Describe the mechanics of credential stuffing, account opening abuses, web scraping, and scalping and how they affect different industries - Understand common bot evasion techniques and the botnet's six stages of evolution - Compare and contrast negative and positive security models but also the transparent and interactive detection model and their effect on detection accuracy This session includes a free copy of the Reign of Botnets for new participants.
