Bot prevention velocity framework

Abstract

The embodiments relate to a system, a computer-implemented method, and a computer program product for performing bot detection using a velocity framework. For example, embodiments include a policy decision engine that can receive requests from a source, wherein each of the requests comprise velocity data including one or more attributes. The policy decision engine can monitor an occurrence of the velocity data in each request, and determine a velocity data rate for the velocity data in each request. Further, the policy decision engine can determine whether the request is a bot request based at least in part on the determined velocity data rate, and transmit a notification to the source of the request based at least in part on the determination of the bot request, wherein the notification indicates whether a bot request has been identified in the request.
