AI-Powered Web Scraping and its Impact on Business Performance
The audio addresses cybersecurity issues, focusing on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on website performance and data collection. With the help of Pablo San Emeterio, CEO of VapaSec, we analyze this behavior that is beginning to be a problem for some organizations. Vapasec offers a WebProtection MDR service that helps organizations solve this and many other challenges that organizations face in their presence on the Internet. The constant evolution of technology requires continuous adaptation in cybersecurity. Cloud computing, AI, and new forms of computing create new security challenges. Website performance is affected by AI bots. Many AI companies are using bots to "scrape" websites, downloading and analyzing content to train their AI models. These bots can cause problems: They can consume resources, slow down websites, and even cause denial of service problems. This impacts a company's results by increasing infrastructure costs. These bots may not be malicious in the traditional sense of a cyber attack, but their actions create the same effect of using resources unnecessarily. Bapasec's Web Protection service helps customers identify and block these bots, ensuring that resources are used for legitimate human visitors. They also allow beneficial bots, such as those from Google and Bing, to index the site. The problem is widespread: Companies like Meta (Facebook) are collecting user data to train AI, which raises privacy concerns. Many users are unaware that their data is being used by default. Companies can detect these problems: By monitoring website log files, they can see unusual spikes in traffic that may indicate bot activity. Expert help is crucial. Automated tools are necessary to monitor and protect against these problems, and specialists can provide the right kind of assistance so that companies can focus on their core activities.
