Introduction

Bots are a common presence on the internet, serving a range of functions from automating customer service to indexing pages for search engines. However, their capabilities can be exploited for malicious activities, such as launching botnet attacks that can compromise web applications and disrupt services. Businesses continuously face the delicate balancing act of allowing good bots to perform their functions while preventing bad bots from causing harm.

To address these challenges, Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) has new enhancements that provide advanced protection against such threats, ensuring the security and integrity of web applications. In this blog, we will explore Azure WAF Bot Manager 1.1 in Azure Front Door (AFD) and coming soon to Application Gateway WAF, as well as the WAF JavaScript Challenge which is available in both Application Gateway and Azure Front Door. These features offer comprehensive protection against malicious bots while ensuring that good bots can continue their work without interruption.
