Customize Application Behavior with BOT Confidence Score
Introduction
AppTrana's Bot Management feature allows users to customize application behavior based on the bot score assigned to Client machines (where the requests originate).
This score indicates the likelihood that a request is coming from a bot, enabling users to take appropriate actions to protect their applications.
Bot Score Levels
AppTrana's Bot Management feature allows users to customize application behavior based on the bot score assigned to Client machines (where the requests originate).
This score indicates the likelihood that a request is coming from a bot, enabling users to take appropriate actions to protect their applications.
- Low (Score >= 60): Indicates a 75% chance of the request coming from a bot.
- Medium (Score >= 70): Indicates an 87% chance of the request coming from a bot.
- High (Score >= 80): Indicates a 99% chance of the request coming from a bot.
Steps to Configure Custom Bot Actions
- Navigate to WAAP > List of Rules and Policies.
- Click the BOT Policies tab and scroll down to Configure BOT Mitigation based on BOT Confidence score section.
- Based on the Bot Confidence Score, click on the Configure button to choose the Corresponding WAF Action, and then click Save.
| Allowed WAF Actions | Description |
| No Action | Request is allowed without any intervention or action taken |
| Log Only | Records the request for analysis without taking any immediate action |
| Captcha | A captcha challenge is presented to the user without blocking the request. The Captcha action will be available only if the applications are migrated to the new WAF architecture. |
| Blocking | The request is blocked outright. |
Requests scoring above 80 are restricted to either Captcha or Block actions.
The users have the option to set all the requests to 'Log only' mode, but this will be reflected on the dashboard as the BOT module is configured to log mode.
