F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense vs. Appdome

Bot attacks are difficult to stop—criminals retool to bypass defenses, rapidly solving CAPTCHAs and mimicking human behavior. To stay ahead of bots, F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense (Formerly Shape Security) uses AI to achieve long-term efficacy and zero customer friction. The solution helps to achieve effective bot protection based on analysis of devices and behavioral signals that unmask automation. This gives users the advantage of a network effect as the platform adapts to retooling attempts across thousands of the world’s most highly trafficked apps.

Appdome is an agentic platform that protects mobile apps and the mobile business at scale. Trusted by enterprises worldwide, Appdome automates mobile app security, fraud prevention, bot defense, and threat detection and response across Android and iOS applications. Unlike legacy SDK-based approaches that require manual implementation and ongoing maintenance, Appdome uses AI agents to embed protections directly into mobile apps, analyze threats in real time, and continuously adapt defenses without code or complex integration.
