Your holiday checklist has a new line item: AI agents
The Internet is being hit harder and faster than ever before. Cloudflare now blocks over 5,300 DDoS attacks every hour — most are over in under 10 minutes, too fast for any human to respond. 2025 was a record. 2026 is already outpacing it. But this holiday season, it’s not just the attacks that are agentic — the shopping is too. AI assistants are now deciding which products to recommend, which stores to trust, and which to skip. You need to block the bots that attack you and show up for the ones that sell for you.
Survive the surge
Absorb multi-terabit DDoS floods at the edge and hold peak traffic in a branded waiting room, so checkout never crashes.
Sort good bots from bad
Block scalpers, scrapers, and credential stuffing while cryptographically verifying the trusted AI agents you want.
Get recommended by AI
Make your catalog discoverable and machine-readable so agents can find, trust, and recommend you first.
