River Security | API Security Management Platform (API Bot Defender)
Fully detect all APIs, block every threat. River Security’s API Bot Defender adopts the “ADMP Model”, integrating four core functions – Awareness Perception, Discovery, Monitoring, and Protection – to build a unified API defence system.
It helps enterprises comprehensively manage their API ecosystem and proactively defend against various threats. By leveraging machine learning engines to analyse behavioural patterns, the platform accurately identifies abnormal traffic. Once a threat is detected, the system automatically activates defence mechanisms to ensure zero business interruption.
