Bot Protection

Reduce unwanted automated traffic by blocking known malicious bots and content scraping tools at the CDN edge.

Bot Protection helps reduce unwanted automated traffic by identifying and blocking known malicious bots before requests reach your content.

The feature operates at the CDN edge and can help protect websites, APIs, and media assets from automated attacks, scraping activity, and other non-human traffic patterns.

Bot Protection is enabled at the CDN edge and does not require changes to your origin infrastructure.

How Bot Protection Works

When Bot Protection is enabled, the CDN evaluates incoming requests and applies bot detection mechanisms to identify known malicious automated traffic.

Requests identified as malicious bots may be blocked before they reach your origin.

Bot Protection is designed to reduce:

• Content scraping

• Automated scanning activity

• Unwanted crawler traffic

• Malicious bot requests

Configure Bot Protection

In the Medianova Control Panel, select the CDN Resource and navigate to the Security tab.

1

2

Click Submit to deploy the updated configuration.

Common Use Cases

Reduce Unwanted Traffic

Important Notes

• Bot Protection operates at the CDN edge.

• No origin-side configuration is required.

• Automated services, integrations, or monitoring tools should be validated after enabling the feature.

• Detection methods and bot classifications may change as the protection system evolves.

• Bot Protection should be considered one layer of a broader security strategy and can be combined with IP Restriction, Geo Blocking, Rate Limiting, and other CDN security features.
