Managing Bots with Cloudflare

Bot attacks are on the rise. From record breaking DDoS attacks to credential stuffing attacks, businesses are paying with lost profits and customer trust. For websites that rely on online sales, the effects can be devastating. While many already have measures in place to mitigate bot traffic, these measures are often not enough. In response to this increasing need, many businesses have begun managing bots with Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers native tools that not only stop bots, but provide visibility into your environment, enabling users to see the activity causing problems on their sites.

When managing bots with Cloudflare, businesses know that they are protected as bots evolve. As a company, Cloudflare works hard to stay the forefront of bot detection and mitigation technologies. Its strategies include behavioral analysis, which analyzes user behavior and notes discrepancies that indicates which users are bots and which are human. Cloudflare also uses machine learning to constantly log and learn, growing its idea of bot behavior. Fingerprinting, which analyzes the unique fingerprint of the device and other unique aspects of each user, is also used to detect and block bots in real time. These strategies allow it to stay on top of new bot behavior, no matter how it evolves.

Cloudflare also offers visibility into bot management settings, compiling analytics reports which enable IT teams to proactively review current bot traffic and make changes to ensure that your website remains protected. This monitoring is not just possible, it is essential. While Cloudflare offers top of the line bot management, environments cannot simply be set up and left to work. Cyberattackers change their methods often to remain effective, and with increasingly heavier DDoS attacks and more sophisticated bots, you cannot afford to fall behind. If your team cannot spare the manpower to manage your Cloudflare environment, there are options to ensure you remain protected.
