45% of Hostile Bot Traffic Passes Your WAF. Here's Why. What behavioral detection reveals when you cross-reference hosti

Most enterprise WAFs are configured to block IPs above a certain abuse confidence threshold. AbuseIPDB threshold 50 is a common SOC default. The assumption is that hostile traffic gets caught at the gate. We tested that assumption. Of 240 hostile actors detected by behavior on our infrastructure over 19 days, operating from 380 distinct IPs, 45% have AbuseIPDB scores below 50. They pass standard WAF configurations because their IPs aren't reported enough times to trigger blocking. They behave ho
