Bot Management Solutions
Secure your online presence with fast, reliable, and flexible bot detection and enforcement, all done locally on your infrastructure.
The problem?
Bot activity is rising.
Malicious DDoS botnets, web scrapers, crawlers, vulnerability scanners, and other bots can cause downtime, data theft, fraud, high resource use, and more.
However, not all bots are inherently bad. Business goals and preferences can impact which bots organizations allow versus restrict. Protecting against harmful bots without blocking legitimate (welcomed) bots or human users is difficult.
High-performance bot management at the edge layer neutralizes rising bot threats.
Fast, reliable, and flexible bot identification and categorization accurately detects malicious bots and unwanted AI crawlers. Protect against their effects without impacting legitimate traffic from human users or search engine crawlers. 100% local processing provides low latency and maintains data privacy.
Traffic enters HAProxy and passes through our DDoS protection and Access Control Lists (ACLs) security layers before entering the bot management layer.
Next, HAProxy Enterprise Bot Management Module evaluates requests using a compact and efficient bot detection algorithm powered by threat intelligence from HAProxy Edge — enhanced by machine learning.
The module assigns an overall score to the client, indicating whether they're potentially human, suspicious, or a bot. These results can also signify the presence of verified crawlers (Googlebot) and verified bots, which teams may choose to allow.
HAProxy Enterprise implements the defined response policy (e.g. blocking, challenging, tarpitting, throttling) while passing through safe traffic normally.
