We are thrilled to introduce new enhancements to our API Abuse Prevention capabilities, offering users greater control and precision in managing bot activity.

Users can now assign separate actions and sensitivity levels to specific types of bots. By moving away from the previous one-size-fits-all approach, you gain the flexibility to apply blocking mode against different bot types independently with minimal impact on legitimate traffic. The new Sensitivity levels replace the outdated Tolerance parameter and allow for more precise control of anomaly detection.

Additionally, you can now more effectively manage the scope for behavioral analysis. This includes the option to build behavior profiles across the entire application or within individual domains. This feature is particularly beneficial for users with multiple domains within a single application or without pre-configured applications.

These enhancements enable better identification of automated threats and minimize the risk of false positives, leading to improved security outcomes. API Abuse Prevention is available as part of the Advanced API Security subscription. You can learn more info about Wallarm bot managing capabilities and configuration options in our documentation.
