Bots Dominate Internet Traffic, Requiring New Oversight

Automated systems now account for a significant majority of internet traffic, surpassing human activity. Cloudflare data reveals bots generate 57.4% of global web requests, a figure that climbs to 68.6% in North America. This shift underscores a critical need for robust management and security protocols for these automated systems. As bots increasingly influence online operations, from security and identity verification to financial transactions, developing effective oversight mechanisms becomes paramount to maintaining the integrity and functionality of the digital landscape. The evolving nature of web traffic necessitates a proactive approach to managing bot activity.
