The bots have taken over—and they’re not just crawling your website. In this episode, we dig into the alarming reality that automated bots now generate over half of all internet traffic. Armed with artificial intelligence and cloaked in residential proxies, these bots are evolving beyond simple scripts into highly evasive, persistent threats targeting every industry.
We break down the latest findings from Imperva, F5, Thales, and more to explore:
- The explosive growth of bot traffic—and why 37% of it is now malicious.
- How AI is enabling attackers to scale, adapt, and bypass traditional defenses.
- The rise of Bots-as-a-Service (BaaS) and residential proxy networks that make it easier than ever to launch credential stuffing, account takeovers, data scraping, and automated fraud.
- Why APIs are the new front line for bot attacks.
- Real-world impacts: From chargebacks and churn to brand damage and regulatory risks.
- What modern bot mitigation looks like—and why your legacy WAF won’t cut it.
Whether you’re in eCommerce, finance, government, or healthcare, this conversation will change how you think about traffic—and threat detection. Tune in to learn what your business must do to detect, adapt, and stay one step ahead in the escalating war against AI-powered bots.
