## Briefing
- DataDome: DataDome tested 21,491 popular websites against bots and spoofed AI agents to identify which industries are least protected.

## Why it matters
The report provides a broad, empirical snapshot of how unprepared many industries remain against automated threats, including spoofed AI agents that mimic legitimate traffic. Even the best-performing sectors fall short, suggesting that current anti-bot measures are not keeping pace with evolving attack vectors. This data can help security teams prioritize investments and benchmark their own defenses.
