Imperva Advanced Bot Protection vs. Akamai Bot Manager

Automated bot attacks have become a major security concern for businesses across industries. From credential stuffing to web scraping and fraud, malicious bots target websites, APIs, and mobile applications, posing significant risks to data, customer trust, and revenue. As automation now dominates how digital services are accessed, and AI increases the scale and sophistication of these threats, organizations face growing challenges in distinguishing between legitimate and malicious activity.

Bot Manager relies on the simple premise that bots are not all created equal. Many bots play a legitimate role in your online business strategy. Others harm your business by reducing competitive advantage, getting between you and your customers, or committing fraud. Bot Manager provides a flexible framework to manage bot traffic based on the needs of your business—to better engage with your customers, improve your security posture, and control the traffic coming to your website every day.
