Web Scraping feature

Hi,

 

I want to know - how is web scraping feature. I had enabled it on a security policy and found some detections on Bot, we also have IP Intelligence license which can detect requests from Bot. How IPI bot feature is different than the web scraping feature?

    IP intelligence basis the category on the IP address, if that is known to belong to a bot it will be flagged as such.

     

    web scraping looks at the behaviour of a client to judge it might be a bot.
