Bot management vendor
Netacea
In short
Netacea installs at the CDN or load balancer as an edge function, with no client code, and leaves the site running if the service fails. In a case study for a fashion retailer it claims to find 22 times as many bots as Akamai's product, and its pages name no Web Bot Auth or other signature check.

What Netacea does for this layer
From the vendor's own pages
Netacea runs as an Akamai EdgeWorker with DataStream 2 logs, a Cloudflare Worker, an AWS Lambda@Edge function, Fastly VCL with real-time log streaming, or an F5 LX iRule. (netacea.com) Netacea describes its integration as agentless and says the service fails open rather than halting the site. (netacea.com)
Claims the vendor makes about itself
Netacea's platform page says it governs bots and AI agents by "enforcing access based on intent, not identity." (netacea.com) Netacea says its detection models are trained on hundreds of billions of weekly requests. (netacea.com) Netacea claims a 0.001% false positive rate and bot blocking 33 times more effective than competitors. (netacea.com) Netacea's case studies claim 22 times more bots detected than Akamai Bot Manager for a fashion retailer and 33 times more than HUMAN for an education platform. (netacea.com)
