# DataSec

> Bot detection and API protection SaaS. DataSec shields websites and APIs from bots, credential stuffing, scraping, and automated abuse — using behavioural signals, fingerprinting, and real-time threat intelligence.

DataSec is a cybersecurity platform purpose-built for detecting and blocking malicious bot traffic. It protects e-commerce checkouts, login flows, APIs, and content assets from credential stuffing, inventory hoarding, price scraping, and DDoS. The platform operates as a reverse-proxy or SDK integration and produces per-request bot scores with reasons.
