Designed for security professionals and developers, this session explores how to defend your infrastructure against automated threats. Sophisticated bots can drain resources and compromise data, making it difficult to separate helpful traffic from harmful requests. We outline our bot detection strategy, detailing artificial intelligence (AI) browser detections, bypasses, and botnet tracking. We also demonstrate how to manage verified and signed bots using the bot directory, and turn these insights into actionable data within the Cloudflare dashboard.
