Cequence detects and mitigates the attacks that matter
Today’s attackers are more sophisticated than ever, employing a variety of tools and techniques that are often difficult to detect, much less prevent. Cequence bot management detects and mitigates the automated attacks that threaten your organization, including:
Account takeover (ATO)
Content scraping
Flash sales, hype sales, and sneaker drops
Sensitive data exposure
Gift card / loyalty program abuse
Business Logic Abuse
How Cequence Bot Management Is Different
No Application Modification
Unlike competing solutions which use CAPTCHAs and other laborious methods that increase customer friction, Cequence requires no client-side JavaScript or SDK integration. This approach dramatically simplifies implementation and eliminates regression testing, as it doesn’t require development teams to integrate third-party code. Cequence protects at the network level, ensuring all your web and mobile applications, APIs, and cloud- and microservices-based architectures are consistently protected.
Industry-Leading Bot Detection
Cequence’s holistic network-based bot detection is more accurate than traditional client-side options. Rather than rely on signals from end-user devices, Cequence machine learning analyzes behavioral intent across web, mobile, and API traffic, resulting in a more accurate behavioral fingerprint. This technique consistently distinguishes good bots from bad bots and tracks malicious activity even as attackers re-tool to avoid detection.
Real-Time Mitigation
Cequence’s advanced AI detects attacks and autonomously creates threat mitigation rules and policies that can be implemented automatically or after human review. Real-time mitigation options include blocking, rate limiting, header injection, and deception.
Friction-Free User Verification
CAPTCHA and SMS codes do not reliably separate humans from bots – ML models solve image challenges more accurately than most users, and SMS farms exploit carrier vulnerabilities at scale. Biometric Check routes suspicious traffic to a user’s native biometric authentication such as Face ID, Touch ID, or a Windows Hello prompt instead, confirming a real person is present in under a second with no puzzles, no codes, and no conversion-killing friction.

Built With and For AI
Cequence makes use of AI and ML throughout our entire platform, from attack detection to automated mitigation. Cequence protects GenAI and agentic AI use in the enterprise, discovering unauthorized internal AI use and preventing sensitive data leakage through AI APIs. It also protects against unwanted AI bot content scraping as well as AI used by malicious actors for sophisticated attacks.

Rapid Time to Value
Cequence deploys quickly whether on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid. Software sensors inspect traffic passively to identify anomalies or can be deployed inline for real-time mitigation. Hundreds of predefined rules immediately deliver protection while remaining customizable to meet the unique needs of your business. Machine Learning accelerates application baselining within hours, not days or weeks.
Fraud Prevention
Cequence fraud prevention capabilities enable organizations to identify and mitigate fraud in real time with customizable, granular policies specific to your business and industry. Detailed incident forensics provides transaction analysis with key insights into fraudulent and malicious activities.
