Detection Methods
Machine Learning
Cloudflare’s Machine Learning trains on a curated subset of hundreds of billions of requests per day across 16 million Internet properties to create a reliable bot score for every request.
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.
Automatic Whitelists
Cloudflare allows good bots, such as those belonging to search engines, to keep reaching your site while preventing malicious traffic.
Mobile SDK
The Mobile SDK protects your mobile application APIs from impersonation and emulation attacks.
One-Click Deployment
With a single click, deploy a fast and accurate bot management solution without complex configuration or maintenance. Cloudflare Bot Management will automatically recommend rules that leverage machine learning and behavioral analysis to manage bots out-of-the-box. No instrumentation with third-party JavaScript required.
Rich Analytics and Logs
Improve your security posture through insights from viewing time-series graphs with drill-downs. Create your own dashboards that correlate bot management traffic logs with your other data sources by using third-party tools such as SIEMs or business intelligence applications.
Control and Configurability
Tune bot management rules to fit your specific needs by scoping them based on path or URI pattern, request method, score sensitivities, and mitigation methods, such as log, CAPTCHA, or block. Use a visual rule builder or write your own pattern-matching rules.
