How can I use anomaly detection to identify bot activity?

Anomaly detection techniques can identify and mitigate bot activity by monitoring patterns of behavior and identifying deviations from normal activities. Bots often exhibit distinct behavior patterns that differ from human users, such as excessive requests at unnatural times, repetitive actions, or unusual navigation paths. By utilizing machine learning algorithms and statistical analysis, anomaly detection tools can flag suspicious activities and trigger alerts for further investigation or automated mitigation strategies to protect against bot attacks.
