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.
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.
What you capture
Every bot hit, server-side, with the exact user-agent, URL, and timestamp — before the page even renders. No sampling, no blind spots.
