How does device fingerprinting assist in identifying and blocking malicious bots?
Device fingerprinting assists in identifying and blocking malicious bots by creating a unique identifier for each device based on various attributes such as browser type, operating system, IP address, screen resolution, and more. This allows security systems to differentiate between legitimate users and bots. When a bot attempts to access a website or system, its device fingerprint can be compared against known malicious fingerprints, enabling the system to block the bot before it can cause harm.
