Bot Management and Security Services
Based on rich client-side signals–behavioral, network, and environmental, F5 inspects traffic for bots, aggregators, and other anomalies that put the security of your organization and its customers at risk.
Modern bot management for AI-driven interactions
Advanced AI agents create bots that log in, transact, and mimic real users. While some automation is beneficial, malicious bots exploit apps, APIs, and business logic to commit fraud and scrape data. F5 distinguishes trusted humans, bots, and agents from malicious activity through real-time behavioral analysis, enabling safe automation while preventing abuse and preserving performance.
Different Ways to Deploy Your Bot Management Solutions
F5 provides multiple options for you to direct your traffic to the Bot Defense service and configure how to handle traffic that originates from bots. F5 BIG-IP provides a native module for configuring traffic to route to Bot Defense, regardless of how BIG-IP is deployed in your network. Your organization could also choose to direct traffic to Bot Defense from Distributed Cloud.
