Bot Security Market Overview

The global bot security market size is growing at a high during the forecast period (2024-2031).

The bot is a type of software that performs automated tasks on demand. A terrible botnet runs harmful programs that allow attackers to control the compromised computer remotely. Infected machines are referred to as Zombies once they have been infected. Botnets are the most extensively used malware distribution method, infecting thousands of PCs. Botnet security solutions and services make detecting, mitigating, and blocking botnets easier. Furthermore, these solutions protect enterprises from botnet attacks in the future by offering protection.

Cybercriminals are now using bots to breach company networks. Bots are aggressive code programs that autonomously infiltrate a computer network. Installing virus-infected software, infiltrating through a worm, or using a more advanced method such as a drive-by attack, the attacker gains access to the user's computer by visiting a website. The bot can be used for various goals, ranging from harmful, unlawful, and fraudulent activities to good. Googlebot, for example, is used by Google to crawl the internet and index information for search purposes.

Bot Security Market Dynamics

The surge in unlawful bot traffic, the sophistication of botnet threats, and the expanded usage of APIs in industries like eCommerce, travel, gaming, and others are all important market drivers.

The rapid shifting of traffic from the web to mobile

According to Statista, there were 3.5 billion smartphone users in 2019. Due to growing Internet penetration, the number is expected to rise dramatically in the next years. Smartphone ownership is substantially greater in industrialized economies, such as the US, Australia, South Korea, and Japan. Smartphones are being used for various purposes, including internet shopping, social media applications, and product research.

Because of the development of social networking apps like Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat and digital entertainment platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, smartphone users are spending more time on their phones. As a result, web traffic is shifting away from desktop computers and toward mobile devices, making botnet attacks a lucrative target. According to Statista, mobile online traffic accounted for around 52.6 percent of global web traffic in 2019. Because of these worrying figures, bot security firms are focusing more on mobile security. As a result, bot security suppliers are projected to benefit from the shift in online traffic to mobile.

The rising bad bot traffic          

There are good bots and evil bots on the Internet. Bots owned over a quarter of all Internet traffic in 2019 and over half of all automated online traffic. According to Akamai, malicious botnets account for 43% of all login attempts. The percentage of malicious botnets is projected to rise as the popularity of assaults such as credential stuffing grows due to data available on the dark web. As per TechRadar, 30% of all bots claiming to be aren't Google bots. Bad bots utilize legitimate Google bot user agents and Google Cloud Platform IP addresses to hide their actual identity and steal information.

Hackers are sophisticated bots using emerging technologies like AI and machine learning to successfully mimic human behavior online, making bot detection and blocking solutions increasingly difficult to detect and block their behaviors. Bot security systems detect whether a visitor is a bot or a human based on contextual factors such as IP addresses and past user behavior data and respond accordingly. As a result, effective bot security solutions are essential for dealing with this issue.

Increasing cybercrimes

According to Checkpoint, cybercrime is evolving into a profit-driven sector due to various tools. Cybercriminals, malware operators, tool suppliers, coders, and affiliate programs are part of this sector. Their products, such as do-it-yourself malware kits, spam-sending, data theft, and launching DDoS attacks, can all be easily acquired online from various sources.

In various world regions, the rise of ideological and state-driven attacks that target people or organizations to support a political cause or carry out a cyber warfare campaign is noted and organizations find it difficult to combat these attacks. Botnet attacks may be made out across various organizations across the world. It is predicted to hinder the bot security market's growth.

COVID-19 Impact on Bot Security Market Growth

The COVID-19 epidemic has impacted all aspects of society, including individuals and corporations. The Internet has become increasingly important around the world. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, people's reliance on internet enterprises has grown considerably, increasing harmful bot traffic. According to Imperva's analysis, 40.8 percent of Internet traffic in 2020 was not human; harmful bot traffic climbed by 6.2 percent and now accounts for more than a quarter of all website requests.

Many governments and regulatory agencies have forced both public and private organizations to accept new teleworking techniques and preserve social distancing in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. For numerous firms, digital ways of doing business have since become the new Business Continuity Plan (BCP). Companies are increasingly seeking bot security solutions and services to safeguard themselves from DDoS attacks, web scraping, account hijacking, spam, and other malicious threats as the global adoption of mobile devices and internet penetration increases. The pandemic of COVID-19 has significantly influenced the Bot security sector. Due to insufficient organization finances, bot security adoption has declined by around 5% to 6% in the first half of 2020.

Bot Security Market Segmentation Analysis

By end-user, the bot security market is segmented into BFSI, healthcare, retail & e-commerce, education, IT & IT services, government and others.

Fraud and security concerns are more common in small and medium-sized enterprises.

Denial of inventory, scalping, scraping, credential stuffing, and Layer 7 DDoS attacks are all common bot attacks that target online retailers and e-commerce businesses. These attacks can degrade a website's performance, cause downtime, expose sensitive customer information and result in revenue loss. According to a Forrester Research poll of 400 respondents, 63 percent stated web scraping attacks cost businesses 1% and 10% of their revenue. These types of attacks have a technical impact and a financial one.

As a result, strong security measures against dangerous bots must be implemented and maintained by online shops. Walmart recently reported over 20 million bot attempts inside the first 30 minutes of a PS5 replenishment event in 2020. As a result, bot security solutions for retail and e-commerce are projected to boom in the next years.
