Cloudflare turns trillion-request traffic into bot defenses

Cloudflare launched Adaptive Intelligence, a continuously retrained Bot Management engine that analyzes more than 1 trillion web visits a day and generates short-lived rules against automated attacks. Cloudflare’s announcement says updates test themselves against live traffic before deployment, aiming for zero downtime and fewer false positives. Teams defending agent-facing endpoints should treat traffic scale as a detection-refresh signal, then demand their own false-positive and latency data, as the archive’s runtime-security analysis argues.
