The Best Offense is a Layered Defense: How to Stop the Cycle of Credential Stuffing and Fraudulent Credential Use

Credential Stuffing and Fraudulent Credential

Working for the industry leader in bot management can be pretty eye-opening. Every day, my company witnesses credential stuffing attack attempts levied against the largest websites in the world, and it gives me pause when I think about the number of bot attacks that digital businesses experience on a regular basis.
