DataDome Recognized in Forrester Landscape: Bot Management, Q1 2024 Report

Organizations today face a growing set of challenges when it comes to safeguarding their digital businesses from malevolent actors, particularly from sophisticated bot attacks and online fraud.  Roughly half of all internet traffic is now comprised of bots. Many businesses are ill-prepared for the havoc bots can wreak on their websites, APIs, and mobile applications. In fact, the DataDome 2023 US Bot Security Report analyzed 9,500+ US websites and found that 68% of leading websites are not equipped to handle simple bot attacks. 

Inside the Forrester Landscape: Bot Management Report for Q1 2024

Forrester recognizes the growing need for advanced bot and online fraud protection. Today, Forrester released their Bot Management Software Landscape, Q1 2024 report. This report is meant to assist security professionals looking to understand the business value they can expect from a bot management software vendor, as well as to fortify their organizations against threats ranging from account fraud to layer 7 DDoS attacks.

Forrester found that the most current trend is that anyone can now launch a bot attack.
