bot management platform
The product category, sometimes called a bot shield, that stands between the origin and every automated client and decides what each one gets. It is the source of challenge page at 200, uniform refusal, and graded through a wall: the shield answers a scanner and most AI crawlers identically, and the site owner may not know it is answering at all, because the owner's own browser passes. What it decides is set by configuration and by the provider's classification, so a scan reports the wall as the wall and does not attribute the response to the site's content.
