Overview

Product Information on Imperva Advanced Bot Protection

Updated 14th July 2026

What is Imperva Advanced Bot Protection?

Imperva Advanced Bot Protection (ABP) defends against malicious automation, protecting digital assets from many types of fraud. As automation dominates how applications and APIs are accessed, and AI accelerates its scale and sophistication, the challenge is distinguishing automation that aligns with business intent from activity that exploits it. Powered by machine learning, behavioral analysis, and persistent identification, Imperva detects and mitigates automated threats in real time while preserving seamless access for legitimate users and trusted automation. It correlates signals across sessions, devices, and environments to identify activity even as attackers rotate IPs or mimic human behavior. ABP gives visibility into AI tools and agents accessing applications, how they behave, and what they target. Granular controls allow, limit, or block automation with precision across cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environments, maintaining performance, trust, and resilience.

    Effective Bot Detection and Integration Noted, Though Some Features Need Intuitive Design

    5.0
    Dec 9, 2025
    Our experience with Imperva Advanced Bot Protection has been very encouraging. This solution has given us much better insight into automated traffic patterns and it has also played a very important role in reducing unwanted bot interactions across our applications. The dashboards and the reports are very easy to understand and the detection quality is very impressive and reliable. We initially spent time fine tuning a few configurations but when we completed, the system has delivered steady and dependable protection aligned with our expectations.
