About the Akamai Bot Manager

Akamai Bot Manager is a comprehensive bot management solution designed to protect websites, mobile apps, and APIs from sophisticated automated attacks. It operates at the edge of the network (Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform), leveraging a patented AI framework to analyze billions of daily requests and differentiate between legitimate human traffic, good bots, and malicious bots. Bot Manager uses a multi-layered approach, including known bot directories, dynamic detections (user behavior analysis, automated browser detection, HTTP anomaly detection, browser fingerprinting, AI/machine learning models), and a scoring model to assess the likelihood of a request coming from a bot. This allows organizations to mitigate threats like credential stuffing, web scraping, account takeover, inventory grabbing, and business logic abuse, while maintaining performance and user experience. It offers granular control over bot traffic, enabling tailored responses from monitoring to aggressive blocking, and provides extensive visibility and reporting
