says vendor trying to sell anti-bot software to your managers. Let me guess, by "all internet traffic" they mean "HTTP requests going through our tool"?
While you are right, the amount of bot traffic is huge, from data scrappers, fake views (ie. YT video SEO, video ads, etc), to game miners and social media fake accounts which each scammer/spammer run by the thousands. That's not including the legal stuff like automated systems (web crawlers, media content generators, etc).
Right. I went to their site and I can't even access the actual "report" they're talking about. But it's clear that they've accidentally mixed up the words internet and web.
Could you explain the difference?
Web is HTTP, so websites and videos. The internet is everything, including the web from SSH (remote server login), RDP (remote desktop login), to torrenting.
