The annual Imperva Incapsula Bot Traffic Report, now in its fifth year, is an ongoing statistical study of the bot traffic landscape. For our latest report we examined 16.7+ billion visits to 100,000 randomly-selected domains on the Incapsula network to tackle the following questions:
- How much website traffic is generated by bots?
- How are bad bots used in cyberattacks?
