Auth0 , the identity platform for application teams , has launched Bot Detection , a new security feature that reduces the effectiveness of a credential stuffing attack by as much as 85 %, with minimal impact on user experience .
Bot Detection is a powerful addition to the company ’ s expanding security portfolio , and works in tandem with Auth0 Breached Password Detection , Brute Force Protection and Multifactor Authentication , to provide extensive mitigation against a variety of sophisticated threats , including automated attacks , account takeovers and phishing attacks .
Credential stuffing attacks often rely on stolen account credentials ( username and password ) from a previous data breach and are used to gain unauthorized access to user accounts on another website .
This is executed via large-scale botdriven attacks against the login flow and is an increasingly pervasive problem for enterprises .
“ We ’ ve seen an increase in the volume and sophistication of bot attacks over the last few years , and companies are investing more in their defenses ,” said Matias Woloski , CTO and Co-founder at Auth0 .
“ Being at the front door of applications with a service that secures more than 4.5 billion login transactions per month , we have a unique vantage point for quickly identifying and blocking suspicious activity before any damage is done .
“ This is what makes Bot Detection very effective at preventing account takeover and reducing the load on DevOps and SecOps teams .” •
