Talos is Netacea's fifth-generation bot detection engine that uses intent-based analysis to identify and block malicious automated traffic in real time. Rather than relying on static signatures or device fingerprinting alone, it models behavioral intent across a customer's traffic to distinguish legitimate users from malicious bots. The engine is designed to defend against a range of automated threats, including: - Credential stuffing and account takeover (ATO) - Fake account creation - Scalping - Web scraping (including for generative AI model training and content republishing) Talos adapts dynamically to each customer's traffic patterns, learning what malicious intent looks like on a per-deployment basis. This allows it to respond to evolving attack techniques, including AI-driven automation that mimics human behavior. The product targets industries commonly subjected to high volumes of automated abuse, including retail, ticketing, gaming, travel, and SaaS platforms. It is positioned as a managed protection layer that operates at scale with minimal operational overhead for the customer.
