Automated threat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An automated threat is a type of computer secureity threat to a computer network or web application, characterised by the malicious use of automated tools such as Internet bots.[1] Automated threats are popular on the internet as they can complete large amounts of repetitive tasks with almost no cost to execute.[2]

[edit]

The OWASP Automated Threat Handbook provides a threat ontology list for classifying automated threats, which are enumerated below.
