Hi Community,
I wanted to share something I think you’ll find valuable. We recently released the 12th edition of our Bad Bot report, and this year’s findings highlight the increase in sophisticated bad bots across the full range of regions and industries. .

Highlights of this year report
In 2025, bad bots now account for 37% of all internet traffic —with the majority built using AI, making them faster, more evasive, and harder to detect.
These bots are no longer just scraping content—they are:
· Targeting APIs
· Exploiting business logic
· Fuelling large-scale fraud across industries
For the first time in a decade, automated traffic has surpassed human traffic, now representing 51% of all web activity.
The report includes:
· A snapshot of key findings based on a vast dataset from the Imperva global network throughout 2024, including blocking over 13 trillion bad bot requests across thousands of domains and industries
· Further analysis from our Threat Research and Security Analyst experts
· Real-world use cases
· A spotlight on the accelerating role of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Our Security Analyst Services team will also host a live webinar focussing on our Advanced Bot Protection product. They’ll look at best practices and provide a live demo of mitigation in action. You can learn more and register here.
A live Q&A will follow the presentation
I would love to hear your thoughts on the report - let me know in the comments below.
