Why Bot Management Is Critical for Organizations

The use of automation by both basement hackers and sophisticated cybercriminals is scaling faster than ever, eroding digital trust and putting businesses at risk. Fake accounts, synthetic traffic, and fraud are becoming more deceptive and challenging to detect—and more costly to ignore.

Understanding Kinds of Bot Attacks

What Is a Bot?

A bot (short for “robot”) is a software script or program designed to perform automated tasks. Bots are programmed to execute specific actions quickly and efficiently, often mimicking human behavior to interact with users, systems, or other programs.

Are All Bots Malicious?

No. There are many types of bots that can be beneficial to organizations. “Good” bots perform useful functions and automate repetitive tasks. However, bots can also be used by bad actors to engage in malicious or unethical behavior that harms users, businesses, or systems for personal gain or disruption.

Why Do Cybercriminals Use Bots?

Bots have several qualities that make them the weapon of choice for cybercriminals. These include the following:

Automation

Bots perform tasks without human intervention.

Speed

Bots execute tasks faster than humans can.

Scalability

Bots can handle repetitive tasks at scale, making them ideal for managing large workloads.

Specialization

Bots are designed for specific purposes, such as chatting, searching, or monitoring —or attacking a specific application.
