  HUMAN Security (formerly PerimeterX) is an application security company
  focused on stopping automated abuse: sophisticated bots, account takeover,
  fake account creation, scraping, ad fraud, client-side supply-chain
  attacks, and transaction fraud. HUMAN operates the Human Defense Platform,
  which combines a JavaScript sensor and mobile SDKs running on the client
  with risk decisioning services on the server side. Products in the
  platform include Bot Defender (formerly PerimeterX Bot Defender),
  Account Defender, Credential Intelligence, Transaction Abuse Defense,
  Ad Fraud Sensor / MediaGuard, Code Defender (client-side script and
  supply-chain protection), and Scraper Protection. HUMAN is primarily an
  enterprise vendor — onboarding, sensor configuration, and policy tuning
  go through the HUMAN portal and a customer success team — but the
  platform exposes REST APIs and SDKs that engineering teams integrate into
  web apps, mobile apps, edge workers, and back-end services.

    description: |
      Bot Defender (formerly PerimeterX Bot Defender) is HUMAN's flagship
      product for stopping automated traffic against web and mobile
      properties. A JavaScript sensor and mobile SDKs collect signals
      from the client, an enforcement layer (CDN module, reverse proxy,
      cloud connector, or HUMAN-managed edge) sends them to HUMAN's
      decisioning service, and a verdict (allow, challenge, block) is
      applied per request.

      Account Defender protects against account takeover, fake account
      creation, and post-login abuse by scoring login, signup, and
      session events with behavioral, device, and credential-intel
      signals. It integrates with identity flows via SDK and server APIs
      and feeds decisions back into the customer's auth stack.
