FortiWeb bot mitigation is designed to distinguish automated clients from real human users by evaluating request behavior and browser interaction signals. Request-rate limits help detect automation patterns such as excessive requests over a short period, while mouse movement tracking is a behavioral or biometric-style control that helps confirm whether a browser session is being operated by a human. Blocking all unknown devices is too aggressive and would create major false positives. Disabling JavaScript for anonymous users would actually weaken behavior collection because FortiWeb uses JavaScript-based techniques in some bot workflows. Login-failure IP blocklists help against credential attacks, but they do not broadly identify nonhuman users. Therefore, request limits plus mouse movement tracking is the best answer.
