You're listening to the CyberWire X, a series of specials where we highlight important security topics affecting security professionals worldwide.

I'm Rick Howard, the chief security officer, chief analyst and senior fellow at the CyberWire, and in today's episode we are talking

about bot mitigation by undermining the attacker's ROI.

A program note, each CyberYX special features two segments.

In the first part, we'll hear from an industry expert on the topic at hand, and in the second

part, we'll hear from our show's sponsor for their point of view.

And since I brought it up, here's a word from today's sponsor,

Kasada. If you've spent a lot of time and money fighting automated attacks but still feel like you're losing the battle, you're not alone.

The truth is, bad bots adapt in seconds and evade expensive, difficult to maintain

defenses.

Now there's a better way with Kasada.

Kasada has flipped the script on bots, ending the game of whack-a-Mole, Kasada has flipped the script on bots ending the game of Wacamole.

Kasada's elegantly simple yet superiorly effective approach

puts the burden where it belongs on the attackers not your business,

stopping bad bots for good.

Kossada takes just 30 minutes to deploy and shuts down malicious automation in real time,

with no manual setup, no annoying captures, and no complex rules to manage.

Kasada stops the bot attacks, others can't.
