PrestaShop Content Protection

Is your PrestaShop website safe from bad bots could be copying your content or trying to hack your site? As your site grows bots can become one of the biggest problems that you face. The bots could be creating fake carts, or just scraping data from your site. This will skew your bounce rate and could possibly change your marketing efforts because the data you are looking at is skewed.

While you may have a web application firewall or even an in-house cybersecurity team, new bots would most likely be profiled too late. If not blocked early, these bots might already have what they need from your website: your content, images, prices, or even more!

You need a solution that continuously identifies new bot patterns and signatures. A reliable solution for your PrestaShop website that could:

• Quickly block bad bots
• Identify and allow good bots such as Google and Bing bots
• Constantly learn patterns and bot behavior
• Automatically do everything for you.
