Bot management for modern web traffic
Centinel detects real-browser automation, residential proxies, and AI scraper APIs so you can see who is accessing your content and decide what to allow.

Every shape automated traffic takes
The route and the client change what you need to inspect, what could go wrong, and which response makes sense.
Scraping & AI crawlers
Some crawlers identify themselves. Others use real browsers, residential networks, or copied identities to resemble ordinary visitors.

Credential-stuffing tools can replay exposed username and password pairs at scale. The login still needs its normal authentication and account-security controls.
Learn moreCheckout & carding fraud
Automated card testing can repeat payment attempts through a valid checkout flow. Bot evidence adds context before the payment provider makes its own fraud decision.
Learn morePromo abuse & multi-accounting
Automated sign-up flows can rotate submitted details and browser profiles. Bot evidence helps enforce an offer policy without claiming to resolve a person's identity.
Learn moreAPI abuse
Mobile apps, partner integrations, and backend services may call an API without loading a page. Those requests need a policy built from the evidence the server integration actually receives.
Learn moreDDoS & traffic floods
Aggressive crawlers and distributed automation can consume application capacity. Centinel complements rather than replaces volumetric DDoS protection.

Tell real visitors from scrapers that look like them
A crawler can run a real browser and resemble an ordinary visitor. Check what your current CDN and WAF already detect, then evaluate whether Centinel adds useful evidence for the traffic they miss.
How the layers fit togetherDeclared crawlers
Verify known identities and set policy per crawler.
Basic scripted clients
Identify request automation that does not behave like a browser.
Browser automation tools
Detect spoofed browsers and commercial scraping APIs running at scale.
It runs in the stack you already have.
Your edge asks Centinel to check the request before serving the page. Keep your existing CDN, reverse proxy, or application in place.

Common questions
What site owners ask before deployment.
Why is browser-side verification necessary?
Browser-like headers alone do not explain who controls a visit. Where browser collection is supported, runtime and session evidence adds context to the request. Evaluate that evidence with the protected workflow and your access policy.
Is Centinel GDPR-compliant?
Yes. Centinel minimizes personal data and uses request and browser signals only to separate automated traffic from genuine visitors.
