Overview: Detecting Automatic Transactions
You can use BIG-IP DataSafe to check for automated manipulation of data in URL parameters and
AJAX requests, and to check for removal of the Transaction Data cookie. Automatic transactions
detection is particularly useful on web pages where money transfers are performed, which are
popular targets of malware web robots. On a page like this, automatic transactions detection can
check for data manipulation in the destination account number and/or the amount of money to be
transferred, and send an alert if manipulation is detected.
If BIG-IP DataSafe is included as part of your AWAF license and not a stand-alone
license, when data integrity violations are detected, the violations are passed on to the
Application Security Manager (ASM) for mitigation.
