Case Study: a large eCommerce site stops content scraping without hurting user experience with Cequence Security

Large eCommerce Site blocks 57% of API scrapers with Cequence Security

A large eCommerce site was struggling to prevent a competitor from scraping and reposting its original content. They deployed a first-generation bot mitigation tool alongside the Cequence Application Security Platform to evaluate which solution could more effectively block these content scraping attacks.

Cequence Security's solution successfully stopped the malicious scraping bots without impacting customer experience or SEO, unlike the competing tool which slowed page load times and failed to block retooled attacks. The Cequence approach did not require JavaScript instrumentation or SDK deployment and was able to distinguish good bots from bad ones, whereas the other tool was found to be blocking 43% of search engine bot traffic.
