Search & Social Protect™
Search & Social Protect™ refers to a set of protective mechanisms that help secure search activities and social interactions from abusive, harmful, or automated threats in real time.
Definition
Search & Social Protect™ is a security-oriented technology framework designed to monitor and defend search queries and social media engagement against malicious actors, spam, abuse, and bot-driven attacks.
