Imperva + xSeek: Track AI bots inside your WAF rules

Track AI bots at the edge with Imperva's CDN and WAF. Secure, high-performance detection integrated with Imperva's security features.

CDNWAF

Overview

Imperva's CDN and Web Application Firewall can be extended to detect and track AI bot visits. By leveraging Imperva's custom rules engine or IncapRules, you can implement AI bot detection at the edge while maintaining Imperva's security protections. This solution works seamlessly with Imperva-protected websites and provides bot tracking without compromising security.

×Client-side JS

What you'd miss

Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom — none of them fire for GPTBot, ClaudeBot, or Perplexity. Client scripts never run for crawlers that don't execute JS.
