Continuous evolution in data protection: Spotlight on BotGuard and Picus Security

How to Protect Against Content Scraping? What is the Key Solution for CISOs?In an era where data is the new currency and cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated, CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers) must confront rising threats. Additionally, new risks emerge constantly, making it overwhelming to keep up with all the concepts in the world of cybersecurity (e.g., content scraping).

In 2024, we introduced two innovative solutions to our portfolio: BotGuard and Picus Security. Both companies offer advanced technologies that help protect against various online threats. Therefore, during our CEE Roadshow in Prague and Bratislava, we decided to showcase these solutions. But why do they deserve your attention?

BotGuard

BotGuard is a platform designed to protect web applications from malicious bots, including the threat known as content scraping. Content scraping is a process where automated bots collect content from websites, often for unauthorized use, leading to copyright violations and financial losses for content owners. BotGuard effectively blocks bot access to protected pages while allowing users to freely navigate the service. By employing advanced detection technology, BotGuard can identify and eliminate bot-generated traffic, significantly reducing server load and improving website and application performance.

Picus Security

Picus Security is another solution in our portfolio that focuses on a proactive approach to cyber risk management. In light of the growing demands and responsibilities placed on CISOs, Picus offers tools for risk assessment and vulnerability management. A key element of Picus's offering is the Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) approach, which combines Exposure Assessment and Exposure Validation. Exposure Assessment involves identifying resources and security gaps, creating a foundational view of the attack surface. Exposure Validation provides additional insights from a potential attacker's perspective, assessing the difficulty of exploiting existing vulnerabilities and the effectiveness of implemented safeguards. This approach allows CISOs to focus on the most critical threats and gaps that pose the greatest risk to their organizations. With these tools, companies can better prepare for potential attacks and minimize data loss risks.

Summary

The introduction of BotGuard and Picus Security solutions into our portfolio represents a significant step towards comprehensive data and network protection. They offer unique features that enable effective threat management in a dynamically changing cybersecurity environment. Both solutions garnered considerable interest among participants at events in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, demonstrating their strong market potential.
