NEW TODAY FROM ICMA

Greetings!   

 ICMA's Early Bird deadline for the "Marketplace Innovations" conference is this Friday, 1 March!  If you haven't already, be sure to register today to receive your €150 discount!  

 

We are also hosting another webinar with Associate Member, SiteBlackBox to discuss the importance of understanding bots, the threat they pose to your business and how to block them.

 

Scraping, Denial-of-Service & Spam - Bots can destroy your business!

Bots are a strategic threat to your website and your business. They steal your intellectual property, choke your site's resources, and harass your users. Growing in their sophistication, they evade detection by traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) and Port Monitoring Appliances, compromising your website's performance and profitability.

  • Scraping - bots copy your database, republish it, and compete for your ad revenues.
  • Spamming bots - they crawl your site, collecting your users' email addresses and phone numbers, and pass them on to spammers and telemarketers.
  • Denial of service - hostile bots attack by sending HTTP requests in rapid succession, paralyzing your site.

Can you protect your company and website from bots? Join SiteBlackBox's webinar to find out:

  • How sophisticated bots operate
  • Where classified businesses may be most vulnerable to bot attacks
  • How to block the bots

Date: Tuesday, 19 March 2013
