HUMAN Introduces Sightline: AI-Powered Bot Defense for SaaS Applications

New York, NY – Cybersecurity company HUMAN has launched Sightline, a powerful new feature designed to enhance bot detection and mitigation for SaaS applications. As part of the HUMAN Application Protection service, Sightline provides real-time tracking of bot activities, identifying attack patterns and behavioral anomalies to help organizations strengthen their cybersecurity defenses.

With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated, HUMAN Sightline introduces a secondary AI-driven detection engine that tracks malicious traffic even after initial blocking decisions have been made. This advanced system analyzes attacker behaviors, adapts to evolving threats, and provides security teams with a comprehensive view of cyber attack strategies. Sightline is available at no additional cost to users of Account Takeover Defense, Scraping Defense, and Transaction Abuse Defense.

Sightline was developed in response to rising concerns over automated attacks and fraud. Traditionally, bot mitigation solutions rely on static rules and signature-based detection. However, cybercriminals continuously evolve their tactics, rendering traditional defenses less effective. HUMAN’s new approach creates attack profiles that segment malicious traffic into distinct groups, allowing security teams to track patterns over time, rather than react to individual attacks in isolation.

The company explained the innovation behind this approach:

“Customers have long asked us to provide advanced anomaly reporting—or, in other words, to mark anomalies that represent distinct attacks. But when we started down that path, we realized that simply labeling spikes would not provide the information that customers need.”

“We built a secondary detection engine using purpose-built AI that analyzes all the malicious traffic in aggregate after the initial block or allow decision is made. This engine compares every automated request to every other current and past request to construct and track ‘attack profiles,’ groups of requests thought to be from the same attacker based on their characteristics and actions.”

By monitoring attackers’ adaptation strategies, Sightline can adjust its detection mechanisms in real-time, ensuring that evolving threats remain blocked. Unlike other bot mitigation solutions, which may struggle to track persistent attacks, Sightline continuously refines its detection parameters, increasing the accuracy of its bot identification process. Over time, each attack profile becomes more detailed, allowing security teams to better understand the capabilities and behaviors of different cyber threats.

HUMAN also emphasized that Sightline provides a new level of transparency, giving organizations insight into how automated threats operate. By using data-driven attack profiling, cybersecurity teams can proactively identify and mitigate cyber threats before they cause significant damage.

Sightline’s launch aligns with HUMAN’s broader mission to help enterprises and SaaS platforms defend against digital fraud, bots, and automated cyberattacks. The platform serves as both a bot-blocking solution and an advanced cybersecurity analytics tool, offering a data-centric approach to digital security.

The company confirmed that Sightline is fully integrated into HUMAN Application Protection and is accessible through an interactive dashboard that provides security analysts with detailed threat intelligence. The system highlights bot sophistication levels, automation methods, and unique identifiers that differentiate human users from malicious bots.

HUMAN addressed questions regarding who can benefit from Sightline, stating that the tool is ideal for any organization that prioritizes bot traffic analysis and cybersecurity enhancements. Large-scale enterprises, SaaS platforms, and higher education institutions can utilize Sightline to strengthen their digital defenses against automated threats.

“This solution is aimed at organizations that are interested in expanding their bot traffic analyzing capabilities. Enterprise-level businesses and higher education institutions can certainly utilize this solution; again, it depends on how committed the organization is to tracking bot traffic. HUMAN has long been helping clients in the higher education sector combat evolving cyber threats, and HUMAN Sightline will only further benefit these organizations in strengthening their security measures.”

HUMAN also clarified that Sightline is a fully cloud-based SaaS solution, seamlessly integrating into existing cybersecurity frameworks without requiring additional on-premise infrastructure. The tool functions as part of HUMAN’s Defense Platform, which secures web applications, online accounts, and digital services against fraud and automated cyberattacks.

With cyber threats becoming more sophisticated and AI-driven, Sightline represents a significant advancement in automated threat detection and mitigation. By leveraging real-time attack profiling and adaptive AI-driven analysis, HUMAN provides organizations with an unparalleled ability to track, analyze, and respond to malicious traffic.

HUMAN’s continuous improvements to its cybersecurity solutions reinforce its commitment to helping businesses and digital platforms stay ahead of evolving threats. The introduction of Sightline marks a new era in cybersecurity, setting a new standard for adaptive bot defense and digital fraud prevention.

As automated cyber threats continue to grow, tools like Sightline will play a crucial role in ensuring secure and fraud-free digital experiences for businesses and their users.
