Why is browser-side verification necessary?

Sophisticated crawlers can use real browsers and realistic fingerprints. Browser-side verification checks whether the visit behaves like a genuine visitor before protected content is served.

Is Centinel GDPR-compliant?

Yes. Centinel minimizes personal data and uses request and browser signals only to separate automated traffic from genuine visitors.

Bot management for modern web traffic

Centinel detects real-browser automation, residential proxies, and AI scraper APIs so you can see who is accessing your content and decide what to allow.

Use cases

Every shape automated traffic takes

The route and the client change what you need to inspect, what could go wrong, and which response makes sense.

Scraping & AI crawlers
Some crawlers identify themselves. Others use real browsers, residential networks, or copied identities to resemble ordinary visitors.

Account takeover
Credential-stuffing tools can replay exposed username and password pairs at scale. The login still needs its normal authentication and account-security controls.
Learn more
Checkout & carding fraud
Automated card testing can repeat payment attempts through a valid checkout flow. Bot evidence adds context before the payment provider makes its own fraud decision.
Learn more
Promo abuse & multi-accounting
Automated sign-up flows can rotate submitted details and browser profiles. Bot evidence helps enforce an offer policy without claiming to resolve a person's identity.
Learn more
API abuse
Mobile apps, partner integrations, and backend services may call an API without loading a page. Those requests need a policy built from the evidence the server integration actually receives.

DDoS & traffic floods
Aggressive crawlers and distributed automation can consume application capacity. Centinel complements rather than replaces volumetric DDoS protection.

The gap

Tell real visitors from scrapers that look like them

Your CDN and WAF are built for DDoS and known crawlers. A sophisticated crawler that runs a real browser and behaves like a visitor slips past them. Centinel closes that gap.

How the layers fit together

Declared crawlers

Verify known identities and set policy per crawler.

Basic scripted clients

Identify request automation that does not behave like a browser.

Browser automation tools

Detect spoofed browsers and commercial scraping APIs running at scale.

How it works

It runs in the stack you already have.

Your edge asks Centinel to check the request before serving the page. Keep your existing CDN, reverse proxy, or application in place.
