Bot protection by industry
The same bots look different depending on what your platform publishes. Each page below walks through the automated traffic one kind of platform attracts and what to do about it.
Marketplaces and classifieds
A marketplace works when buyers trust the listings and sellers read their messages. Scrapers, bulk sign-ups, and message bots all erode that. Centinel looks at how each request was made, so you can act on the automation without slowing down real buyers.
Real estate and proptech
Property portals publish exactly the data other people want to take: prices, photos, and the agent's phone number. Centinel evaluates the automation behind those requests, so home seekers and approved partners keep using the portal while scrapers and spam scripts get a different response.
Retail and e-commerce
Scrapers read the catalog, inventory bots buy the limited drop, card testers use the payment form, and credential stuffers use the login. Centinel evaluates how each request was made, so shoppers keep a fast checkout and the scripts get a different response.
Ticketing and live events
Demand for a big event lands in the first minutes of the on-sale, and so do the bots. Centinel evaluates how each request to the event, seat, and checkout pages was made, so fans get through and scripted buyers get a different response.
Travel and airlines
Airlines, hotels, and online travel agencies publish live prices and availability, and pay to answer each search. Centinel evaluates how each search, hold, and login request was made, so travelers and approved partners keep access and scrapers get a different response.
Media and publishing
Search crawlers, AI crawlers, assistants fetching a page for a user, and scrapers that hide behind a browser all read the same articles. Centinel identifies which is which, so publishers can keep search indexing and give every other client the access they choose.
Banking and fintech
Fraud and identity checks decide whether a person or payment is legitimate. Bots reach the login, the application form, and the one-time-code request first. Centinel evaluates how those requests were made, so the scripted volume meets friction before your fraud tools see it.
