What are the differences between proactive and reactive bot protection strategies?

Proactive strategies for protecting against bot threats involve taking preventive measures before an attack occurs, such as implementing security controls, using CAPTCHA tests, and monitoring for unusual activity. On the other hand, reactive strategies involve responding to a bot attack after it has already happened, such as blocking suspicious IP addresses, analyzing attack patterns, and implementing temporary fixes to mitigate ongoing threats. Proactive strategies focus on prevention, while reactive strategies focus on response and damage control.
