Forward-thinking travel brands understand the importance of IT and business working together to solve the bad bot problem.
When aggressive scrapers caused slowdowns on iCruise.com, Antoine Zammit, VP of technology at its parent company WMPH Vacations, said enough was enough.
Hear more about how it stopped the scrapers and the resulting business benefits in a FREE 30-minute workshop taking place on Tuesday October 3.

Blocking bad bots isn’t just the purview of the IT department. When nefarious competitors, hackers and fraudsters use bots for content theft, account takeover and fraud, they also skew web analytics and look-to-book ratios, and place a drag on marketing KPIs and the customer experience.
