Bot Manager by Akamai detects and mitigates malicious bot traffic while managing good bots, improving user experience. It protects apps and assets, allowing for safer and more effective automated operations, which increases customer trust. Bot Manager provides visualization and reporting tools to show the impact of various types of bots on business and infrastructure. It allows customization and configuration of how good and bad bots are managed through an easy-to-use portal. Bot Manager scores bots from 0 (human) to 100 (bot) based on visibility into over 30 billion bots daily, analyzing anomalies from the first request. As bot requests increase, the score can rise, enabling a response strategy based on the Bot Score. The strategy includes three segments: Cautious Response (to be monitored), Strict Response (to be challenged), and Aggressive Response (to be mitigated).
