Bot Or Not? Fortinet Enhances Application Security With Advanced Bot Protection Service
Fortinet News, Tuesday, January 30th, 2024
Fortinet has announced a new advanced bot protection service designed to detect and respond to malicious bots to address the growing challenges organizations face today from the growing volume of bot-generated traffic.
According to a recent study, nearly half of all internet traffic is now bot-generated. And of that, nearly a third is being generated by malicious bots. But in addition to this increase in malicious bot traffic, they have also become more sophisticated. Many can now mimic the behavior of human internet users (for example, bypassing CAPTCHA) to make it harder for legacy security solutions to detect and block them. To address this challenge, organizations need tools that are able to make a distinction not only between bots and human users but also between good and bad bots.
