We recently carried out a survey of 200 UK enterprises across e-Commerce, financial services, entertainment and travel. Amongst our objectives, we wanted to discover the state of bot attacks in the surveyed industries.

In part 2 of our blog series, we find out which bot attacks represent the greatest risk to businesses.
