What is Bot Manager?

Akamai Bot Manager is an advanced bot detection and mitigation solution built on the globally distributed Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform. It distinguishes between legitimate bots (like search engine crawlers) and malicious bots that scrape content, perform credential stuffing, execute denial-of-service attacks, or commit fraud. Using a combination of client-side and server-side detection, behavioral analysis, and threat intelligence, it accurately identifies and blocks harmful automated traffic before it reaches the origin infrastructure.

Who it's for:

This solution is designed for large enterprises, e-commerce giants, media companies, and financial institutions with high-traffic websites and APIs that are frequent targets of sophisticated bot attacks. It suits organizations needing granular control over bot traffic to protect business logic, data, and user experiences.

Our verdict:

Leveraging Akamai's massive edge network, Bot Manager offers superior scalability and real-time threat mitigation. It is a top-tier solution for businesses that face advanced persistent bot threats and require a robust, intelligence-driven approach to safeguard their digital assets and maintain site performance.
