Case Study: Build.com Stops ATO and Scraping Bot Attacks with HUMAN Application Protection

Build.com Stops ATO and Scraping Bot Attacks

Build.com, an online home improvement retailer, was facing increasingly sophisticated automated bot attacks that scraped product data and targeted login pages with credential stuffing and account takeover attempts. The distributed traffic mimicked real users, overwhelming its login service and making traditional web security controls ineffective. Build.com turned to HUMAN and its Application Protection solution to address the problem.

HUMAN implemented behavior-based bot detection and mitigation that integrated with Build.com’s existing stack, including Fastly, without disruptions or added latency. As a result, Build.com stopped login-service disruptions, improved site speed and latency, and reduced the risk of automated scraping and account takeover attacks.
