More bots, more trees
Dec 14, 2022Adam Martinetti, Patrick Day
Summary
Introduced a new ruleset engine for Bot Fight Mode, built on the same engine as the new WAF, Transform Rules, and Cache Rules. This provides more flexibility for writing complex rules to catch elusive bots without impacting legitimate traffic. The data from these new detections are used to train the Machine Learning engine. The post also notes a significant reduction in the time bots spend on challenge pages (166% reduction) and a six-fold increase in CPU intensive challenges issued daily.
