Case Study: M3 Group reduces bot traffic and improves performance with HUMAN Application Protection

M3 Blocks Bots and Optimizes Customer Experience

M3 Group’s M3 USA division, including MDLinx, needed to replace a legacy reverse-proxy-based bot mitigation setup that added latency and offered limited visibility as the company moved from a monolithic system to a microservices architecture. They turned to HUMAN and its Application Protection solution to support the transition while blocking bad bots without disrupting legitimate users.

With HUMAN Application Protection, M3 improved user experience and performance while gaining better reporting, log access, and support. The new cloud-based solution reduced response time by 400ms, an improvement of more than 30%, and helped M3 deploy quickly with a flexible architecture that fit seamlessly into its microservices environment.
