CLIENT REPUTATION
Akamai’s visibility into prior behavior of individual and shared IP addresses is designed to stop malicious clients before they can attack.
The changing threat landscape forces you to constantly improve your ability to act on suspicious client behaviors. Apply an additional layer of protection on top of Kona Site Defender to mitigate the risk of successful DDoS and application-layer attacks while minimizing impact to legitimate users.
Client Reputation uses a proprietary risk-analysis engine that computes risk scores for every source IP address, customized for every customer. This custom risk-based scoring model will increase the accuracy of your security decisions by better identifying malicious clients. Client Reputation provides deep visibility into client activities to add an extra layer of intelligence-based protection to your web application security.

BOT MANAGER
Application Access Redefined: Secure, Simple, Fast.
Most advanced bot detection
Bot Manager employs multiple layered detections to identify bot activity, including signature-based, behavioral, and statistical anomaly detections. Signatureless approaches that leverage big data and machine learning distinguish the most advanced bot activity from legitimate use.
Unmatched bot traffic visibility
Akamai has a deep understanding of both bot and human traffic, with visibility into 485 million bot requests per hour and 280 million bot logins a day, as well as interactions with 1.3 billion clients and up to 82 Tbps of legitimate traffic, on average, every day.
Human behavior differentiation
Understanding human interactions requires more than evidence of a single keyboard stroke. Bot Manager analyzes hundreds of behavioral, browser, and device signals and compares them against legitimate human behavior over time.
Flexible management actions
With a range of advanced, conditional, and challenge actions out of the box, Bot Manager lets you shape traffic to achieve your business objectives. As bots vary, so should your responses ― from basic tactics to advanced mitigation that slows bot traffic or serves alternate content.
Protecting pages and applications
Bot Manager protects your entire site, not just login pages. This allows you to tailor bot defenses to address a variety of risks, including high-value destinations such as login and account registration pages, as well product and marketing pages throughout your site.
Deep learning algorithms
Delivering over 95 exabytes of data across billions of devices for over 6,000 of the largest online companies, Akamai has tremendous insight into legitimate and malicious traffic. Vast amounts of data feed machine learning algorithms for highly accurate results.
Mobile app protection
Bots will seek out any weak point, probing for unprotected pages and endpoints. Bot Manager extends from your web pages to native mobile applications using the same advanced bot detections, making it easy to protect your entire attack surface.
Granular reporting
Dashboards provide a high-level view of bot traffic, then allow you to drill down further with snapshots of protected endpoints and analytics to help you better understand bot impact. Bot Manager integrates with other security solutions and your SIEM for a holistic view of security posture.
How Does Bot Manager Work?
Bot Manager is built on the Akamai Intelligent Edge Platform with approximately 300,000 servers in more than 130 countries for unmatched scale, resiliency, and performance. Clients ― real users and bots ― connect to your web application through the most optimal Akamai server, and Bot Manager detects, identifies, and manages bots at the edge ― before they get to your applications or data centers.
Bot Manager is designed to take the configured actions on bot activity at the edge server, forwarding only clean traffic to the origin. Supervised, unsupervised, and deep learning algorithms adjust to trends in legitimate and malicious traffic, and managed security services tune Bot Manager protections and respond to attacks. Bot Manager integrates with other Akamai security solutions, including distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) protection and web application firewall (WAF), for comprehensive application security.
BENEFITS TO YOUR BUSINESS
Better control your web traffic
You interact with more than just your customers through your website. Better understand who is coming to your website and what they are trying to do. Then, apply the right policies to control how they can interact with you, what content they can see, and their impacts on your business.
