How Does ShieldSquare Work?

Our REST API captures visitor parameters and builds a unique fingerprint.

Our cloud based engine classifies the visitor as human, search engine crawler or bad bot based on fingerprint tracking.

A bad bot detected can either be blocked permanently, fed fake data or challenged by a CAPTCHA based on the business priority.
