What is Bot Protection?
About 50% of whole internet traffic is not generated by human beings, but by various automation tools and bots. And while there are “good” bots like Search Engine crawlers, Social Networks bots that fetches a nice picture for your Facebook post, up to 30% of bot induced traffic is generated by malicious actors, which try to steal your content and prices, takeover accounts of your dear users, post spam messages and fake reviews.
Even experienced system administrators can't say looking into web server logs, whether it was a human visitor or not. And you can't rely on User-Agent header, as it is easy to fake. And Bot Operators can say to your web server, that it's just a GoogleBot indexing your website. They can even use usual human software, like a headless browser, which makes it almost undistinguishable from real humans.
