Bot Management

Machine learning-based malicious bot detection

Bot Management uses machine learning trained on over 57 million requests per second to accurately distinguish humans, good bots (Googlebot, Bingbot), and malicious automation. The system analyzes more than 70 behavioral signals in real time, including mouse movements, keystroke timing, and browser fingerprinting. It blocks credential stuffing, content scraping, inventory hoarding, and other automated abuse with 99.5% effectiveness. Bot Score API enables integration of anti-bot logic with your own systems.
