Challenge

Their website hosts large amounts of valuable content, including job listings and career and professional life guidance. This high-quality content is a prime target for automated scraping bots, which led the organization to find a solution that would minimize risk and keep their content safe.

The company had tested several other bot management solutions but were not satisfied with their ability to block scraping bots or their impact on site performance and latency for visitors to the site.

Solution

They wanted a solution that would stop content from being stolen by scraping bots, maintain their high-quality user experience and minimize any impact to site performance and latency. They chose HUMAN Sightline for its ability to neutralize automated scraping and successfully complete the simulated tests run by their in-house security team.
