scenario average for automation to progress through the existing challenge.
A public-facing SaaS registration journey was protected by Cloudflare as part of its existing web-security stack. The scenario examines a modern automated sign-up operation using browser automation, rotating network identities, changing session characteristics and commercially available challenge-solving services.
Passing a network or browser security challenge should not automatically be treated as proof that a genuine human is performing the protected action.
The key risk was not a single fake account, but the ability to repeat the workflow at machine speed across concurrent workers. For this registration journey, SiARA Shield replaced the existing Cloudflare bot/challenge control protecting account creation, moving the security decision closer to the high-value action: account creation.

theoretical potential when automated workers run concurrently.
illustrative automated registration activity after SiARA Shield was introduced.
The automated workflow continuously changes its technical identity while repeatedly targeting the same business action: account creation.
Rotating network identity. Repeated attempts arrived through changing network identities, weakening simple per-IP correlation.
Changing browser/session signals. Fresh sessions and varied browser characteristics made repeated automation less obviously related.
Outsourced challenge solving. Commercial solving services can become another programmable component in an automated workflow.
The scale effect: at a 20-second journey, one worker could theoretically attempt ~180 registrations per hour. Parallel execution can multiply that exposure rapidly — which is why machine-speed abuse must be treated as an application risk, not only a traffic problem.
Before: Internet traffic > Cloudflare > Registration. After: Internet traffic > SiARA Shield > Registration / account creation.
For this registration journey, SiARA Shield replaced the existing Cloudflare bot/challenge control with TSM-based human verification immediately before account creation.
Attackers may still rotate IPs, proxies, sessions and browser fingerprints. Those changes can alter how a bot appears, but they do not enable it to satisfy the TSM verification step.
TSM is a human visual-memory mechanism that helps the brain retain and integrate visual information across rapid eye movements. CyberSiARA’s TSM-based technology uses characteristics of human visual interaction to distinguish genuine human activity from automated systems.
The attacker can continue changing proxies, IP addresses, sessions and browser fingerprints. But once the workflow reaches SiARA Shield, those infrastructure changes do not help the bot progress.
If it cannot satisfy the TSM-based human-verification step, the journey stops before account creation.

Before: sustained high-volume activity. Thousands of automated registrations / hour (illustrative). After: near zero.
Changing the bot’s technical identity does not make it human. TSM verifies the human before the protected action is completed.
Compute, API, database, storage, bandwidth and logging consumed by illegitimate activity. Security, fraud, support and operations teams inherit investigation and cleanup workload.
CISO takeaway: changing the bot’s technical identity does not make it human. TSM verifies the human before the protected action is completed.
Business exposure from automated sign-ups
Passing a network or browser security challenge should not automatically be treated as proof that a genuine human is performing the protected action.
TSM verifies the human before the protected action is completed.
Scenario note: Illustrative SaaS registration security scenario based on advanced automated-abuse patterns. Scale exposure of 1,000s/hr is theoretical potential when automated workers run concurrently. At a 20-second journey, one worker could theoretically attempt ~180 registrations per hour.
