Frequently Asked Questions

What is web scraping and why is it a risk for businesses?

Web scraping is the automated collection of data from websites using bots, scripts, or AI-driven tools.

It becomes a risk when it:

  • Harvests pricing, inventory, or proprietary content
  • Degrades site performance through high-volume requests
  • Enables competitive undercutting or resale
  • Fuels downstream abuse like scalping or fraud

CHEQ focuses on identifying unauthorized and malicious scraping, not blocking all automation.

How does CHEQ detect malicious web scrapers?

CHEQ detects malicious scraping by analyzing automation behavior and execution context in real time.

CHEQ evaluates:

  • Traffic signals such as network patterns and request behavior
  • Execution environments including headless browsers and automation frameworks
  • Behavioral indicators that differ from humans and legitimate bots

This allows CHEQ to distinguish malicious scrapers from approved automation without relying on static signatures.

Does CHEQ block all bots and crawlers?

No. CHEQ is designed to differentiate between good bots and bad automation.

CHEQ can:

  • Allow search engine and AI crawlers
  • Permit trusted partners and tools
  • Enforce controls only on unauthorized scraping activity

Policies are fully customizable based on your business needs.

How is CHEQ different from a traditional WAF or rate limiter?

Traditional defenses focus on:

  • IP reputation
  • Static rules
  • Request volume thresholds for DDoS mitigation

In addition to traditional defenses, CHEQ focuses on:

  • Behavioral intent
  • Entity integrity
  • Context-aware automation control

This allows CHEQ to stop evasive scrapers that rotate IPs, mimic browsers, or bypass simple rate limits.

Will web scraper management impact real users or site performance?

No. CHEQ is designed to protect performance, not degrade it.

Key points:

  • Detection happens in milliseconds
  • Legitimate users are not challenged unnecessarily
  • Automation is governed based on risk and intent, not blanket blocking

This ensures fast access for real users and approved bots.

Can CHEQ integrate with our existing CDN or edge infrastructure?

Yes. CHEQ integrates with:

  • CDNs
  • WAFs
  • Load balancers and edge platforms

CHEQ provides intelligence and policy control, while enforcement can occur at the most appropriate layer.

Is web scraping illegal, and does CHEQ provide legal enforcement?

CHEQ does not provide legal enforcement or determine legality.

CHEQ helps businesses:

  • Identify and manage unauthorized scraping
  • Protect data and performance
  • Enforce technical controls aligned with business policy

Legal considerations vary by jurisdiction and should be handled separately.
