Akamai is ready to demonstrate the new Client Reputation feature of its Kona Site Defender technology.
The Akamai Client Reputation service is designed to help financial services institutions improve their security decisions when the threat would otherwise be unclear. The service provides the ability to forecast intent and protect applications against Distributed Denial of Service and application layer attacks. It does this by identifying and sharing with customers the likelihood that particular IP addresses fall into one of four “malicious” categories: web attackers, Denial of Service attackers, web scrapers, and scanning tools.
