Intelligent Bot Management
Stop credential stuffing, account takeover, scraping, bot-driven DDoS, and API abuse before they drain revenue, distort analytics, overload origin, or degrade user experience. Peakhour combines proxy, fingerprint, route, rate, credential, API, WAAP, DDoS, and behaviour context on the request path so legitimate visitors continue without friction.
Where Sophisticated Automation Gets Past Simple Bot Rules
Static bot signatures and residential proxy databases still have a place, but they are not enough when automation rotates infrastructure, fingerprints, routes, credentials, and request volume.
Private Networks Evade Static Lists
Attackers increasingly assemble private and residential proxy networks before public datasets can label them. Treat proxy status as a live risk signal, not a standalone blocklist.
Fingerprints Drift Under Pressure
Anti-detect browsers and automation frameworks alter TLS, HTTP, browser, and device signals. A decision model has to compare those changes with behaviour and route context.
Route Abuse Needs Route Context
Ten requests per second means one thing on a static asset and another on login, checkout, search, or account APIs. Peakhour applies controls where the business risk appears, including rate limits and Layer 7 DDoS response when volume turns into origin pressure.
Actions Need Evidence
Allow, challenge, rate limit, block, and log decisions stay tied to the signals that drove them, so teams can tune policy without guessing.
A Bot Decision Needs More Than One Signal
Peakhour scores each request from the context that actually changes the decision: IP intelligence, residential proxy detection, network and browser fingerprints, route and rate behaviour, credential exposure, API path state, DDoS pressure, and WAAP/WAF findings. Use Peakhour Edge as the delivery layer, or add Peakhour intelligence to your existing CDN or edge provider without moving every workload at once.

High-Value Threat Focus: AI and LLM Scraping
Precise Control at the Decision Point
Live Telemetry Validates Bot Policy Decisions
Dashboards, logs, and event streams verify that mitigations are working in production: attack categories, selected actions, route impact, rate-limit activity, DDoS pressure, and changes over time. This evidence supports daily operations, WAAP review, and stakeholder reporting.
The proof view connects bot categories, mitigation actions, and trend movement without making the raw screenshot the page centerpiece.
Connect Bot Decisions to the Rest of the Request Path
Residential Proxy Detection
Use per-request proxy signals when attackers rotate through consumer networks and private proxy infrastructure.
IP Intelligence
Attach managed reputation, category, ASN, and infrastructure context to bot scores before request action.
Advanced Rate Limiting
Count by route, IP, ASN, fingerprint, response code, and bot state instead of relying on global request limits.
DDoS Protection
Control bot-driven Layer 7 floods with request policy, route-aware rate limits, and origin protection before traffic reaches the application.
API Security
Protect login, checkout, account, token, REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket routes with API-aware bot context.
WAAP and WAF Controls
Run bot, API, WAF, rate, and DDoS decisions as one application security operating model.
Log Forwarding
Send enriched bot, proxy, route, API, and WAAP decision evidence to the tools your team already reviews.
