Researched and written by Lauren Worth

Bot detection and mitigation software is used by companies to defend against attacks or other unauthorized activity involving bots. Bots may attempt to take down sites and perform a DDoS attack, scrape data from a website, or perform fraudulent transactions. Bot detection and mitigation products are designed to recognize bot activity, identify malicious bots, and prevent them from engaging with websites, applications, or networks. Companies use these tools to maintain availability during attacks and prevent bots from completing their intended tasks.

These tools may have similar features to DDoS protection software but bot detection and mitigation solutions defend against a variety of bot-related activities, rather than one type of attack. Similarly, click fraud software may have similar features to bot detection and mitigation software. However, it’s primed solely to detect and safeguard against fraudulent clicks relating to pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, which is again, only one of the many types of attacks that bot detection and mitigation tools defend against.

To qualify for inclusion in the Bot Detection and Mitigation category, a product must:

Monitor websites, networks, or applications for bot-related activity
Identify malicious bot activity
Prevent network access to sources identified as dangerous
Prevent DDoS attacks, account takeover (ATO), API and form submission abuse, web scraping, etc.
