BAD BOTS COMPRISE NEARLY 40% OF ALL INTERNET TRAFFIC

A bot – short for robot – is a software program that performs automated, repetitive, predefined tasks. Bots typically imitate or replace human user behavior.  While some bots, such as search engine crawlers, are good, bad bots are built to carry out malicious attacks at scale.   When left unchecked, these bad bots can steal data, affect site performance, and even lead to a breach.
