Tonight’s topic
Beat the Bots
Being able to manage bots intelligently can give your business an edge. Bot traffic can make up as much as 70% of the total traffic to a website — and that requires a lot of overhead to manage. On top of that, it's becoming critical to prevent credential stuffing attacks. It is estimated more than 30% of credential stuffing attacks go undetected, and with average attacks costing upwards of $6M you need an effective bot management strategy. We will discuss the impact of bots and credential stuffing on your business, and strategies available to combat them.

Interesting and informative as always.

Interesting topics and debate as usual – good participation and a good mix of firms.
Very relevant to issues at my previous firm – not so much at the new one

Good to have the topics split across a couple of areas so that interest and applicability maintained even where one of the topics was felt to be less critical for my current business…
Was made more valuable by having testimony in the room from an actual business client using the products and services and not just hearing solely from people in ‘vendor-land’
