Brightspot has observed a dramatic increase in non-human web traffic across our customer base — largely driven by scraping bots harvesting content for AI model training. See our findings and recommendations from a recent initiative to evaluate and respond to the growing risk and impact of “bad bot” traffic.
The rise of large-scale DDoS attacks and rampant AI scraping signals a turning point in web security. What used to be rare is now routine — and often automated by actors with little more than a credit card.
As digital experiences grow more complex, traditional monolithic platforms are no longer able to keep pace. Their tightly coupled architectures limit speed, flexibility and scalability — putting innovation road maps at risk. Composability offers a modern alternative: a modular, API-first approach that allows organizations to evolve their digital ecosystems incrementally and intelligently. Find out here why composability matters now more than ever.
