Case Study: Leading Legal and Business Information Portal stops content scraping with ShieldSquare

Europe’s Leading Legal and Business Information Portal Uses ShieldSquare to Secure Website Content

Europe’s Leading Legal and Business Information Portal needed to protect its monetizable real-time legal and business content from sophisticated scraping bots used by competitors, fraudsters, and unauthorized third parties. As traffic spikes and suspicious behavior increased, the portal’s team struggled to stop automated attacks without affecting the user experience, making content theft a growing threat to revenue and competitive advantage.

ShieldSquare provided bot mitigation for both the website and APIs, integrating quickly through the WAF and SDKs for major languages. Using anomaly detection and detailed traffic analytics, ShieldSquare identified and blocked 100% of malicious bots, cut down random bot traffic spikes, and helped secure premium content without disrupting genuine users or requiring major infrastructure changes.
