Bot prevention refers to techniques and strategies used to identify and block automated programs, or bots, that can disrupt online services. These bots can perform harmful activities such as spamming, scraping data, or launching cyberattacks. By implementing bot prevention measures, websites can protect their resources and ensure a better experience for legitimate users. Common methods of bot prevention include using CAPTCHAs, which require users to complete tasks that are easy for humans but difficult for bots. Other techniques involve analyzing user behavior and employing machine learning algorithms to detect unusual patterns. Effective bot prevention helps maintain the integrity of online platforms and enhances security.
