HOW TO MANAGE AI BOTS WITH AWS WAF AND ADVANCED SECURITY

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

AI bots can be problematic as they can use proprietary data to train models, cause performance degradation, or allow for unwanted agentic/automatic behavior. Some bots, such as Applebot, Amazonbot, and Googlebot, respect robots.txt and will obey directives that tell them not to train on a website's data. AWS WAF can offer rate-limiting rules, CAPTCHA, or honeypots for the Bot Control group to account for bots that don't respect robots.txt.
