About

Akamai Bot Manager effectively detects bot traffic and mitigates malicious bots. It assigns a bot score to each request using AI and behavioral analysis, allowing customized responses such as challenges, rate limiting, or alternate content based on risk level.

The platform maintains a database of over 1,300 known bot signatures, dynamically detects unknown bots, supports customizable policies per endpoint, protects mobile and API traffic, and offers real-time reporting and analytics.

AWS WAF Captcha is a feature of the AWS WAF web application firewall that helps protect web applications by requiring requests that match specific criteria to solve a captcha puzzle or silent challenge before proceeding.

It allows users to embed a JavaScript API in client-side applications, apply captcha or silent challenge actions based on rate-based, bot control, or custom inspection rules, and configure token immunity time.
