Cloudflare Bot Management
Stop bad bots while moving beyond CAPTCHAs
Undetected malicious bots can damage your brand, steal sensitive information, take over accounts, and negatively impact your revenue.
Now you can manage good and bad bots in real-time with speed and accuracy by harnessing the data from the millions of Internet properties on Cloudflare.
All with quick and easy deployment or as part of our SOC-as-a-service offering.
Manage bots with speed and accuracy by applying several detection methods
Behavioral Analysis
Cloudflare analyzes behavior and detects anomalies in your Internet property's specific traffic, scoring every request by how different it is from the baseline.
Machine Learning
Cloudflare’s Machine Learning trains on a curated subset of hundreds of billions of requests per day to create a reliable bot score for every request.
Fingerprinting
Cloudflare uses fingerprinting from millions of Internet properties to accurately classify bots. They do not generate or store device fingerprints, eliminating the risk of user privacy being compromised.
