Arkose Labs Accessibility Conformance Report
International Edition; based on VPAT® Version 2.5
Introduction
Product Information
Name of Product/Version: Arkose Labs Enforcement Challenge
Report Date: November 2024
Product Description: Arkose Bot Manager allows application development and security teams to protect their apps and users against bot-driven and related attacks. When suspicious signals are detected, web traffic can be sent through the proprietary challenge-response technology of Arkose Labs Enforcement Challenge, including Arkose MatchKey, to validate malicious intent. Targeted attack response allows good users to pass uninterrupted, while suspicious traffic is met with a game-like enforcement challenge that bots and fraudulent actors cannot efficiently solve.

-
Keyboard access, to simulate the experience of a user with a mobility impairment, or who is blind.
-
ZoomText and browser zoom, to test the experience of users with low vision who might magnify the screen.
-
Color inversion, to identify issues for color blind, low vision or cognitively impaired users.
-
Manual testing, supplemented with automated testing using ARC Toolkit and others
-
User testing, conducted on a subset of challenge types and a subset of impairment types.

Exceptions: · Known fraudulent traffic may have time limits enforced for submitting answers to the challenge. As this is limited to a subset of known fraud traffic, ordinary users will not encounter these time limits. · Where content is displayed only temporarily, the same information can be obtained elsewhere on the challenge (e.g. progress indicator) or on the customer’s hosting page (e.g. success screen). · Both above cases constitute an explicitly allowed essential exception as per WCAG success criterion definitions, as these timings are an essential feature of our challenge technology and would otherwise invalidate the activity. |
