Do you need a solution to scraping and data theft?

So you have been handed the responsibility of protecting the public content on your company’s web site? Then you know that your two main enemies are called scraping and data theft. Unfortunately there is no quick fix available on the market that will safeguard your content from scraping. But there is a solution to the problem. As you read this article you will learn more about the problems you face when battling scraping, and what you can to do stop it – once and for all.

Problems when combating scraping

Unlike the normal random attacks from viruses and worms scraping is often a targeted attack set in motion by a skilled human adversary. This means that people will be trying to counter your efforts to block their scraping attempts.

When you’re fighting a human adversary that tries to avoid detection and blocking at all costs you need to continuously update and tune your detection mechanisms. To properly provide an in house solution to this you need both a 24/7 surveillance team and a dedicated development team. Keeping these functions in house means large costs for your company.

Another major challenge when battling scraping is knowing who to block and who to let go. Legitimate traffic and usage of your web site can often look suspicious at a first glance and search engine spiders will look like scrapers when encountered at your site. Blocking any of these will have devastating effects on your business.

That’s why some software alone won’t cut it. You need fine tuned detection mechanism in tandem with experienced analysts to be able to block scraping in a satisfactory manner.
