Active | Legacy name for Event Mitigation mode. Refers to realtime detection and mitigation. |
Client | The party integrating the solutions/systems. For example, the client populates Detection GET parameters, or the client posts data to the Data Sync end point. |
CNAME | CNAME (Canonical Name Record or Alias Record) is a type of resource record in the Domain Name System (DNS) that specifies that one domain is an alias of another canonical domain. |
Passive | Legacy name for Pageview Monitoring mode. |
Postback | HTTP POST event where data is sent to a server. For example the tag makes a postback of collected signal to the system for detecting events. |
S2S | Server to server, used to refer to communication between two servers, typically via an API using HTTPS or other protocols (e.g. gRPC). |
Signals | Data the tag collects or data sent by a client to our system. Typically used for identifying whether the event is a bot, or for integration purposes (e.g. join key between Tag event and S2S call). |
Tag | Refers to the HUMAN Detection Tag. Available as a JavaScript tag, a 1x1 pixel, and mobile SDK (beta) - depending on the environment and integration method. The tag enables the collection of signals and classification of events as bot. |
User | The end user or machine generating the event that needs to be detected. For example, a user is served a detection tag, and for said event (e.g. login attempt), the solution will determine whether the event is a bot. |
Mitigation API | The Realtime Mitigation engine used in Event Mitigation Mode. |
