WP Engine bolts bot management onto Global Edge Security as AI crawlers surge

WP Engine has integrated bot management into its Global Edge Security service to help site operators deal with the rising influx of automated and AI-driven traffic. This move comes as a response to the increasing number of bot activities, which can range from malicious crawlers to legitimate but overwhelming automated requests. Given that WP Engine manages over 5 million WordPress sites, this enhancement is crucial for maintaining site security and performance, especially as AI-driven bots become more sophisticated and prevalent.
