Why Traditional Techniques Fail to Block Bots
To understand the bot detection problem better, let's address the common website security measure taken by companies to prevent bot attacks and why they aren't effective against blocking bots. Code Level Security It's is a good practice to implement code level security in the initial development rather than worrying about it later. Code level security is effective when it comes to basic website security threats. But as online bots evolve to exploit new website vulnerabilities, it becomes impossible for websites to detect and block sophicated bot attacks. Advanced bot attacks that can almost perfectly mimic a human user make it difficult for code level security measures and in-house bot detection tools to detect sophisticated bot patterns. Such bots that mimic human behavior are programmed to interact directly with web pages, for example, to spam forms or throw password dictionaries at user login fields.
