What is AI Bots?

An AI Bot, or intelligent software robot, is a program powered by artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), or computer vision.
Unlike traditional bots that execute predefined tasks, AI bots are capable of adapting, learning from data, and making autonomous decisions. They can simulate human-like interactions and perform tasks that typically require cognitive effort.
These bots can interact with users, collect and process information, and act in real time. Their functioning is increasingly automated and optimized through training on massive datasets, enabling autonomous decision-making, sometimes without explicit human intervention.

How can AI Bots be used?

AI Bots can be used in many legitimate contexts, both by individuals and professionals :
• Customer service : AI chatbots are now common for managing customer interactions and improving response times.
• Process automation : Companies use AI bots to automate repetitive tasks (RPA – Robotic Process Automation).
• Data processing : Bots can extract, clean, and interpret large datasets for decision-making purposes.
• Personal assistants : Voice assistants like Siri or Alexa rely on AI bots to process natural language queries.
• Cybersecurity : AI bots can detect and respond to threats in real time.
• Monitoring and alerting : Used for fraud detection or real-time surveillance (e.g., financial transactions or network anomalies).
However, AI bots can also be misused for malicious purposes.

Among the illicit uses, we find :
• Social engineering : AI bots can be trained to mimic human behavior and conduct personalized phishing campaigns.
• Credential stuffing : Using bots to test stolen login credentials across multiple platforms.
• Disinformation : Creating fake content (text, voice, or video) and disseminating it on social networks.
• Bypassing security mechanisms : Some bots are specifically designed to bypass CAPTCHAs, rate-limiting systems, and other bot mitigations.

How does an AI Bots attack take place?

An attack involving AI bots generally unfolds in three major phases :
1. Reconnaissance and learning : Bots gather information on the target (web architecture, user behaviors, vulnerabilities) and adapt their approach using machine learning models or behavioral analysis.
2. Attack execution : The AI bots perform targeted operations : account takeover attempts, scraping confidential data, or launching distributed attacks (e.g., adaptive DDoS). These actions are often coordinated by intelligent botnets.
3. Adaptation and persistence : AI bots continuously adapt themselves to detection mechanisms by changing behavior or mimicking legitimate users. Some even re-train in real time to stay under the radar of traditional security tools.

Why should you protect yourself from AI Bots?

To be protected against AI bots is crucial, as their intelligence, adaptability, and scalability make them highly effective in compromising systems :
• Data theft : AI bots can exfiltrate sensitive personal or business data at high speed.
• System overload : They can cause outages or degraded performance by generating excessive, coordinated traffic.
• Fraudulent use : Fake registrations, fake reviews, or automated financial transactions are common attack vectors.
• Loss of trust : When users are targeted by AI-powered scams or disinformation, it can severely damage a company's reputation.
With the rise of AI-as-a-Service and open-source models, it is now easier than ever for malicious actors to deploy sophisticated AI bots.

Protect from AI Bots

To protect yourself from the growing threat posed by AI bots, it is essential to implement multi-layered defenses, including :
• Use advanced bot detection systems that rely on behavioral analysis rather than static rules.
• Implement AI-based countermeasures, capable of identifying adversarial patterns and mimicked behaviors.
• Strengthen CAPTCHA mechanisms and ensure they evolve against AI-based bypass techniques.
• Monitor anomalies in user behavior (e.g., rapid navigation, unusual access patterns).
• Block or rate-limit suspect IP addresses and devices.
• Use specialized security solutions, such as Cloudfilt that offer intelligent bot mitigation.
In a context where AI-powered threats are becoming more accessible and powerful, equipping your infrastructure with intelligent, adaptive, and proactive defenses is no longer optional — it is a necessity.

We stop only bad and malicious Bots

You will have a more global view of your visitors and their behavior. Indeed CloudFilt is the only solution to analyze the front and the back end at the same time.

Bot traffic

Bot traffic is non-human traffic to a website/webapp or API. While some bot traffic is beneficial(GoogleBot, Bingbot, SemrushBot...), abusive and bad bot traffic can be very dangerous.

Web Scraping

Web scraping, web harvesting, or web data extraction is data scraping used for extracting, stealing or monitoring content and data from websites.

Tor traffic

Tor traffic is visitors passing through the TOR network. Very used by hackers it will prevent you from automated attacks.

Spam Submissions

Spam Submissions or Spambots Attack is computer programs that execute repetitive tasks and post spam in various places like contact page, registration page, comments, reviews...

Proxy traffic

Proxy traffic is visitors passing through the Proxy network. Very used by hackers it will prevent you from automated attacks and phishing proxies.

Fake Account Creation

Fake account creation is an automated bot threat that cybercriminals use to commit fraudulent acts like reputation manipulation, fake reviews, spreading disinformation through fake posts/news, or theft through account sign-up bonuses or discounts.

IP reputation

IP reputation can be used to block large scale hackers, DDoS and DoS attacks from infected or malicious sources based on shared blacklists with our partners.

Account Takeover

Account Takeover or ATO is an automated bot threat that cybercriminals use to brute force entry to an account. Credential Stuffing attacks crawl lists of leaked usernames/emails and passwords, using bots to continually test combinations on multiple sites until they are successful.

IP Risk Score

IP Risk Score can be used to block large scale hackers, DDoS and DoS attacks from infected or malicious sources by analysing historical behavior. A behavior considered normal on a site can be dangerous on another.

Web Fraud

Web Fraud is any unusual behavior on your website or web application. Based on the browsing history of other users, we are able to identify risky behavior like click fraud, Ad Fraud...

Carding Fraud

Carding Fraud robots tries to use pirated cards, this results in chargebacks and unnecessarily declined transactions.

Business logic

Business Logic Attacks or BATs/BLBs pollutes data and site metrics, making it hard to understand who your actual customers are.

Inventory Hoarding

Inventory Hoarding or Denial of inventory is an automated bot threat that cybercriminals use to repeatedly places an e-commerce product or service in the shopping cart, without ever completing the transaction. The e-commerce website believe that the product or service is out of stock, so that legitimate buyers will see it as not being available.

Marketing Fraud

Marketing Fraud is an mimic human behavior when visiting websites, clicking on ads, filling out forms and surveys. Even as marketers are under increasing pressure to focus on the metrics, conversions and data-driven tactics that drive better business results, bots enter CRM systems and data management platforms, skewing results and retargeting. They steal marketers’ money and then go on to waste more ad spend.

Denial of service (DDoS)

DDoS is bots attack making a service unavailable and preventing legitimate users from using it by occupying it.

Protection from automated threats

Automated Threat or OAT, is an automated threat is a type of computer security threat to a computer network or web application, characterised by the malicious use of automated tools such as Internet bots.
