Bot Management

## Stop bad bots, not your customers

### Cloudflare Bot Management uses machine learning and behavioral analysis across our global network to automatically detect and stop malicious bot traffic before it hits your application.

**Smarter Detection through Network Scale**

Our ML models are trained on the traffic of a huge portion of the Internet. We see novel attacks first and deploy protection for everyone instantly, a data advantage no competitor can match.

**Frictionless User Experience**

We offer Cloudflare Turnstile, a free, privacy-preserving, and user-friendly alternative to CAPTCHA that developers and users actually prefer.

**Integrated Performance**

Built into the Cloudflare stack, not a separate product. Mitigation happens at the edge near-instantaneously, ensuring we stop bots without adding latency for humans.

Credential & API Protection

Protecting login endpoints from credential stuffing attacks and securing APIs from scraping, resource abuse, and automated probing.

E-commerce Bot Defense

Protecting e-commerce sites from inventory hoarding bots.

Real-Time UX & Spend Optimization

Turning bot detection into a real-time UX and marketing-spend optimizer.

Advanced ML Detection

Leverage machine learning models trained on massive amounts of Internet traffic to detect novel attacks and deploy protection instantly.

Carrefour

#### Retail giant Carrefour replaced five separate security tools, put 400 e-commerce sites behind Cloudflare, and cut incident-resolution time by 75% after deploying the WAF (plus Bot Management).

### Powerful primitives, seamlessly integrated

##### Built on systems powering 20% of the Internet, Bot Management runs on the same infrastructure Cloudflare uses to build Cloudflare. Enterprise-grade reliability, security, and performance are standard.
