F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense vs. Sardine

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.

Sardine is the leading agentic risk platform for fighting financial crime. The platform unifies data across fraud, compliance, and risk teams so organizations can stop fraud in real time, prevent AI-driven attacks, and automate fraud and AML operations from a single console. Sardine covers the full risk lifecycle: identity verification and onboarding, device and behavior intelligence, payment and ACH fraud prevention, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and case management. A layer of risk agents automates the manual investigation and review work that slows most teams down.
