Overview

In 2021, 42.3% of all traffic on the internet wasn’t human. In fact, 27% of traffic came from bad bots, software applications that run automated tasks with malicious intent. Many consider these bots as only a benign nuisance, but in reality, they are used by bad actors to achieve nefarious goals and disrupt businesses around the clock. Fraudsters, hackers, and competitors use bots to commit online fraud, break into customer accounts, and gain an unfair competitive advantage by scraping prices and proprietary content. As the volume, sophistication, and damage caused by automated threats grows, bots add costly strain on a digital business’ staff and resources.

Imperva Advanced Bot Protection protects mission-critical websites, mobile apps, and APIs from every OWASP automated threat without impacting legitmate human customers or affecting the flow of business-critical traffic. Imperva delivers a holistic approach that provides the vigilant service, superior technology, and industry expertise needed for full visibility and control over human, good bot, and bad bot traffic.
