What is Bot Detection?

Bot Detection is the process of spotting and blocking automated programs, or bots, that try to attack identity systems. These attacks often target logins, sign-ups, password resets, or APIs. Bots can be used to guess passwords, stuff stolen credentials, or create fake accounts. Detection tools look at patterns like typing speed, IP address, device details, or how fast requests are sent. This helps tell apart real users from bots.
