Netacea Bot Protection for Mobile Apps is a bot management solution designed to detect and mitigate automated bot traffic targeting mobile applications. Unlike traditional approaches, it does not require the installation of an SDK within the mobile app itself. Instead, it is deployed at the network edge, using the same integration that protects websites and APIs. Key aspects of the solution: - SDK-free deployment: Protection is applied at the edge without embedding code into the mobile app, removing development overhead and eliminating a known attack vector where SDK-based defenses can be reverse-engineered. - Cross-version coverage: All versions of a mobile app — including older, unpatched versions — are protected simultaneously, removing the dependency on end-users updating their apps. - AI-based detection: The platform uses machine learning models trained on billions of requests to autonomously detect and block novel bot attacks in real time, with a stated false positive rate of 0.001%. - Unified management: Attacks across all mobile app versions are visible in a single portal, with automated mitigation capabilities. - Threat intelligence enrichment: Bot intelligence sourced from attacker communities is fed into the platform's machine learning models and can also be shared with SOC tooling. - Operational cost reduction: By removing the need to maintain SDK-based bot rules across multiple app versions, the solution aims to reduce infrastructure and resource overhead.
