Human PX

Human Px is a security platform that identifies and blocks automated threats (e.g., scraping, credential stuffing, and account takeover attempts) across websites and mobile applications. By leveraging machine learning, behavioral analysis, and device fingerprinting, it differentiates genuine user activities from malicious bot traffic in real-time, helping maintain a frictionless user experience.

Also known as: Human Security, PerimeterX, Bot Management Solution

Comparisons

• Human PX vs. IP Filtering: Simple IP-based blocking is limited; Human PX’s adaptive approach tracks numerous signals—beyond IP addresses—to identify bots.

• Human PX vs. CAPTCHA: CAPTCHAs can frustrate legitimate users and only deter basic bots. Human PX runs background checks to filter out advanced automated traffic silently.

Pros

• Adaptive bot detection: Continuously updates models to counter evolving bot techniques.

• Minimal impact on user flow: Operates behind the scenes, reducing disruptions for real users.

• Comprehensive protection: Covers web pages, mobile apps, and APIs alike.

Cons

• Enterprise-level cost: High-end solutions can be expensive for smaller organizations.

• Complex deployment: May require specialized skills and configuration to optimize performance.

Example

An online retailer integrates Human PX to monitor login attempts and high-value product pages. When unusual patterns—like extremely rapid form submissions—are detected, Human PX flags or blocks those connections, preserving the shopping experience for legitimate users while thwarting bot-driven exploits.
