Tell real readers 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 reader slips past them. Centinel closes that gap.
How the layers fit togetherYour CDN and WAF
- Absorb DDoS attacks

Centinel adds
