Bot management
Bot management is identifying automated traffic and deciding how to treat it: allow good bots like search crawlers, challenge suspicious ones, and block malicious ones such as scrapers and credential-stuffing tools.
For years bot management was a binary question: human or bot. Tools relied on signals like browser fingerprints, CAPTCHA results and request patterns.
That model is breaking. Legitimate automation now includes AI shopping agents and assistants acting for real customers, while attackers use real browsers that look human. The useful question is no longer whether a request is automated but what it intends to do.
Where Huskeys fits
Huskeys helps teams set bot policies by intent and business impact, per application.
