Bot Management

Our technical support is always at your disposal

There are three main types of bots:

> some are extremely useful, as in the case of search engines, fundamental for the indexing of a company’s website

> others are annoying because they unnecessarily slow down loading times, thus penalizing the user experience;

>  lastly, there are bots that are very dangerous for a company’s competitiveness, designed to spy on prices, create false shopping carts to prevent real users from buying products, generate an excess of requests to block a site, steal strategic informations, as in the betting field.

Why Bot Management is essential

Generally speaking, bot traffic can generate from 20 to 60% of a website’s traffic and determine a considerable performance load for both the Internet structure and the network infrastructure, slowing down access by users.

According to an Akamai analysis of more than 2 billion bot requests that pass through the Akamai Intelligent Platform over a 24-hour period, 50% of bot requests come from unreported and potentially malicious bots. In addition, even bots that make legitimate use of the site, such as those from search engines, business partners and vendors, can cause performance issues.

Bots need to be managed, identified and categorized according to their business impact, in order to assign the most appropriate management policy to each type, with adequate reporting and monitoring.
