• Web Scraping: Protecting inventory information and other commercially sensitive data from malicious, automated scraping activity.
• Denial of Inventory: Preventing inventory hoarding from automated bots which add items to shopping carts to prevent legitimate purchases, in order to make money or disrupt a competitor.
