<p>AWS WAF Bot Control now protects against distributed proxy-based attacks by offering predictive Machine Learning (ML) technology to identify and block sophisticated bots attempting to evade detection.</p>
<p>Specifically, the article covers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Threat actors using compromised residential computers as "bots" and residential proxies to bypass IP reputation and block lists</li>
<li>AWS WAF Bot Control's new feature that adds bot confidence levels (high or medium likelihood) to requests detected as potentially originating from bots</li>
<li>The ability to define different enforcement actions (block, challenge, or Captcha) based on the bot confidence level</li>
<li>No additional cost for this feature, but standard Targeted Bot Control and WAF charges still apply</li>
</ul>
