Marketing fraud is on the rise. Bad actors are exploiting the large number of channels found in modern digital advertising, and increasingly capitalizing on a lack of industry awareness and organizational dysfunction around security weak spots. With the consumer, investor, customer and regulator trust at stake, security and marketing leaders need to get ahead of this growing threat. 

A key challenge for businesses is that unlike marketing and security professionals, fraudsters don't care about silos. With their broad range of attacks including digital advertisement fraud, e-commerce fraud and credential stuffing, they can easily slip through departmental cracks and damage entire businesses. With marketing and security teams establishing that this is a shared problem, it’s clear that a more holistic approach to combating fraud is required.

But how exactly can marketing and security teams effectively put on a united front and overcome bad bots? In the first episode of our two-part series, experts from HUMAN and their guests are sharing how. 
Join them to hear:

- The forms of marketing fraud today, and why attackers can easily slip through the cracks
- How to stop bots and reduce wasted ad spend
- How bots lead to distorted data-driven decisions - be it in media spend or business strategy
- Best practices for how security and marketing teams can work together
- Why the impact of marketing and advertising fraud extends far beyond lost advertising dollars
- And more

Bad Bots: Exposing Bots On Site Before They Distort Marketing-Driven Decisions

What would you do if you could look like a million humans? The answer: a lot. 

Cybercriminals' tools of choice include sophisticated bots and malicious code injections to attack companies across the globe, and the result is diminished brand trust, poor user experience, and a negative impact on the company’s valuation and bottom line.

Join us for a discussion on Wednesday, October 19 at 10am PT | 1pm ET as Sandy Carielli, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and Tamer Hassan, CEO and Co Founder of HUMAN, discuss the merger of HUMAN and PerimeterX. They will take an in-depth look at the latest trends in sophisticated bots, fraud and account abuse, and explore how organizations can work together to disrupt the economics of cybercrime. 

You’ll learn:
The latest trends in cyberattacks, bots, fraud and account abuse 
Top pain points and use cases impacting enterprises across the globe 
How modern defense puts the industry in a stronger position to help customers win against cybercriminals

Modern Defense and the Path to Win Against Cybercriminals

Bots have transformed the way we engage online, efficiently handling a dizzying amount of data and revolutionizing customer service. Yet the success of good bots - combined with the increased demand for automation - has also led to a sophisticated market for bad bots. Now widely accessible to cybercriminals who are deploying malicious bots to invade networks and jeopardize user experience, bad bots are a reality enterprise CISOs now need to contend with. 

According to Dark Reading Research’s ‘Three Out of Four Attacks: Sophisticated Bots and What Enterprise Security is Missing’ report, nearly three-quarters of organizations today suspect that a proportion of their website-traffic is generated by bots. Worryingly, these same enterprises admit they don’t have the optimal tools for defense to counteract these vicious bots.  

Despite the lack of tools - and the knowledge that preventative action must be taken - there seems to be a lack of consensus over the ownership of bad bot mitigation, and whether it is the responsibility of marketing or security. 

In this episode, HUMAN experts and guests are discussing why this is, and sharing essential findings from Dark Reading Research’s recent report. From diving into why bot attacks are jeopardizing businesses’ standing in the market and shareholder value, to exploring the most effective bad bot mitigation tools, join this 45-minute webinar to learn: 

- Why broader, traditional anti-fraud features, such as CAPTCHA and MFS are no longer adequate for dealing with increasingly sophisticated bot attacks
- Why, in order to effectively defend applications against newer attacks, businesses must emphasize collaboration between the internal teams, including security, customer experience, e-commerce, and marketing
- Which application security, machine learning, and anti-bot solutions businesses can use to detect and stop advanced automated attacks
- And more

When Bots Attack: Sophisticated Bots & What Enterprise Security is Missing

New customer account sign-ups are an indicator of a thriving business, but are those new clients human? You want account creation to be easy for humans. But is it also easy for bots?

Sophisticated bots can quickly and easily create large numbers of fake new user accounts. These accounts are either completely fake or are created using details where the real human is unaware of the fraud. These new phony accounts are then used to carry out malicious activity, such as payment fraud, special offers and discount abuse, and spam and misinformation spreading.

Creating a real new account needs to be quick and easy, so your consumer isn’t frustrated and lost. You want users to create accounts to provide offers and discounts and ensure they become long-term clients. Customer accounts also help you monitor customer behavior enabling you to make sound business decisions. However, sophisticated bots can use that same easy system to register new account after new account to use for their fraudulent activity.

Join HUMAN’s Bryan Becker, Director of Product Management and Peter Craig, Director of Cybersecurity Product Marketing, for a webinar on fake account creation and how to combat this threat.

You’ll learn:
• Why and how fraudsters create fake accounts
• Why sophisticated bots are different and the limitations of your existing defenses 
• How to stop sophisticated bots effectively without introducing unnecessary friction

Mitigate the Risk of Fake Account Creation with Precision

Bots are used in three out of four of cyberattacks, but they work differently from conventional threats. Rather than looking for holes in your systems and defences, bots use applications as they were intended to be used. So then, how do you stop those sophisticated bots?

Including new research from Dark Reading, we explain the damage malicious automation can cause, the limitations of WAF and CAPTCHA, and how you can  adopt new approaches to detect and counter sophisticated bots.

Join HUMAN’s Mark Phillips, VP Solutions Architecture  and Peter Craig, Director of Cybersecurity Product Marketing, for a webinar on sophisticated bots and what enterprise security is missing.

You’ll learn how to:
-- Optimize your bot management strategy 
-- Understand bot attacks and the limitations of CAPTCHAs
-- Receive new Dark Reading sophisticated bot research

Protect Your Business Against Sophisticated Automated Attacks

With the proliferation of cloud-based applications also comes the proliferation of bot fraud, which can result in degraded customer trust, loss of inventory, security breaches, and increased resource utilization. That’s why bot mitigation is increasingly important to conduct business securely, regardless of your industry.

Together, HUMAN and AWS provide a layered solution to seamlessly improve
application performance and protect your cloud-native web and mobile applications from
sophisticated bots masquerading as humans. 

In this session, learn how deploying BotGuard for Applications from HUMAN adds another layer of protection on top of the native capabilities provided by CloudFront, AWS Shield, and AWS WAF. The combined solution means that by the time a bot lands on your digital doorstep, you’ve already seen it and can mitigate its impact. 

Here are some common themes we’ll discuss:
• Mitigating new sign-up fraud
• Blocking comment spamming
• Stopping account takeover
• Preventing credential stuffing

Safeguarding the Humanity of Digital Interactions

The publicity surrounding hype sales helps increase demand for limited edition products such as sneakers, gaming consoles and fashion accessories, which earns brands both market share and profit. But it can also bring out bad bots which snatch up products for lucrative resale and cause traffic spikes. This can result in frustrated customers, potential revenue losses and significantly slow down e-commerce sites.

Join PerimeterX and YOTTAA for a 22 minute live webinar to learn how to:
-Prepare your site to deal with both overwhelming bot and legitimate traffic
-Incorporate user-friendly verifications to ensure that humans, not bots, get your limited edition products
-Receive expert tips on how to build a successful hype sales event
