Frequently asked questions

What is bot detection software?

-
+
Bot detection software provides website bot protection by identifying and mitigating automated traffic across websites, applications, APIs, and login flows. It analyzes behavioral, device, network, and intent signals in real time to distinguish real users from bots, fraud actors, and malicious AI agents. hCaptcha’s modern bot detection and mitigation software can assign risk scores and apply the appropriate response: allow, challenge, or block, based on risk.

How does bot detection software work?

+
-
Bot detection software analyzes behavioral, device, network, and contextual signals across a session, uses real-time risk scores, and applies rules to allow, challenge, or block a request. hCaptcha Enterprise can perform this analysis without receiving personally identifiable information (PII) or relying on browser fingerprinting. Adaptive models help detection keep pace as attack patterns change.

How can you detect a bot?

+
-
Bot detection systems look for combinations of signals that are uncommon in legitimate human activity, including impossible timing patterns, headless browser indicators, emulated devices, and proxy network traffic. They evaluate behavior across the session, calculate risk, and allow, challenge, or block activity as attackers change tactics. hCaptcha performs this analysis in real time without requiring personal data.

What is the best bot detection software?

+
-
The best bot detection software for a given organization depends on its traffic, attack surface, integration needs, and privacy requirements. Strong platforms combine behavioral, device, network, and intent signals with real-time risk scoring and a rules engine that can allow, challenge, or block traffic. hCaptcha applies these controls to stop fake signups, account takeovers, payment fraud, and multi-accounting without requiring PII.

How is hCaptcha different from other bot detection companies?

+
-
Legacy bot detection systems often rely heavily on IP reputation, static signatures, or browser fingerprinting. hCaptcha Enterprise combines privacy-first bot detection, real-time intent scoring, a rules engine, and API protection without requiring CDN lock-in. It can operate without receiving PII or relying on browser fingerprinting, and the service works in every country.

Does hCaptcha work as bot detection software for API protection?

+
-
Yes. hCaptcha Enterprise provides agent-free Backend API Protection for machine-to-machine and server-to-server traffic. Direct server-to-server calls send backend metadata for real-time analysis, helping stop aggressive crawlers, credential stuffing, scraping, and other API abuse. Backend API Protection can also integrate with hCaptcha Fraud Protection for consistent risk decisions.

Is hCaptcha bot detection software GDPR and CCPA compliant?

+
-
Yes. hCaptcha complies with GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and PIPL. hCaptcha maintains ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications and a current SOC 2 Type II report. It is PCI DSS 4.0 Level 1 Service Provider compliant and certified under the EU-U.S., UK-U.S., and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks.
