About DataDome
DataDome sells bot protection for websites, mobile apps, APIs and MCP servers.[1][2][3][12]
DataDome was founded in 2015 to address fraudulent traffic. DataDome was founded in Paris with a mission to protect the web from bot-driven fraud through real-time AI detection.[2]
DataDome Bot Protect analyzes over 5 trillion signals per day with AI models that distinguish between human users, legitimate AI agents and malicious bots. DataDome Bot Protect analyzes every request, from page visits to user logins and cart requests, and evaluates 100s of client-side and server-side signals to assess risk continuously throughout the user journey. The DataDome detection engine uses 1000+ OOTB and customer-specific models plus collective threat intelligence. DataDome Bot Protect operates at the edge across 35+ global PoPs and detects bots in under 2 milliseconds. DataDome has a dedicated 24/7 SOC team that monitors traffic alongside expert-supervised AI models. DataDome bot protection uses two-layer PII encryption.[2][3]
Agent Trust from DataDome lets customers see AI agent traffic, trust the good agents and automatically block the bad ones. Agent Trust relies on Web Bot Auth, an authentication method that uses cryptographic signatures, to verify the identity of AI agents on every request. DataDome lets customers allow, block, rate-limit or monetize AI agents and LLM crawlers by name and source. DataDome gives visibility into the AI agents interacting on websites, apps, APIs and MCP servers. DataDome describes agentic commerce as AI agents acting on behalf of consumers to discover products, compare options, check availability and complete purchases across websites, apps and APIs.[5]
DataDome protects logins and new user registrations against automated attacks, malicious AI and human-driven fraud. DataDome blocks account fraud whether the user is a human, a bot or an AI agent. DataDome blocks bots that create fake profiles and abuse sign-up offers. DataDome prevents bots from rapidly testing stolen card data. DataDome protects websites, apps and APIs from advanced L7 DDoS traffic. DataDome defends ad budgets from fraudulent clicks and bot-driven ad engagements.[2][3][6][7][9]
Device Check is a bot protection feature that works invisibly, without impacting real users. Device Check is integrated into the DataDome bot and fraud detection engine, and Device Check collects client-side signals from the device before a request is processed. Device Check provides invisible verification for most traffic, with a slider that collects behavioral data when additional verification signals are needed. Watchtower is a discovery tool included with Bot Protect that identifies domains and subdomains to assess the level of protection against automated threats. Watchtower shows the percentage of coverage across all domains and subdomains. Workspaces allow for multiple tenants within an enterprise or business so protection is tailored to specific needs. Each Workspace uses segregated data clusters for customized data processing and storage.[10][11][12][13]
With 80+ integrations, DataDome runs anywhere in the cloud. DataDome provides 80+ ready-made server-side and client-side integrations and a dedicated team to guide setup. DataDome streamlines setup with three parallel workstreams: Deployment, Management and Training. Premium and Enterprise plans from DataDome include a dedicated Key Account Manager. DataDome Galileo Threat Research monitors new threats, supervises the detection engine and reacts immediately to attacks.[6][13]
