Answer: C

Explanation:

Anti-Bot

The Need for Anti-Bot There are two emerging trends in today’s threat landscape:

– A profit-driven cybercrime industry that uses different tools to meet its goals. This industry includes cyber-criminals, malware operators, tool providers, coders, and affiliate programs. Their "products" can be easily ordered online from numerous sites (for example, do-it-yourself malware kits, spam sending, data theft, and denial of service attacks) and organizations are finding it difficult to fight off these attacks.

– Ideological and state driven attacks that target people or organizations to promote a political cause or

carry out a cyber-warfare campaign.

Both of these trends are driven by bot attacks. A bot is malicious software that can invade your computer. There are many infection methods. These include opening attachments that exploit a vulnerability and accessing a web site that results in a malicious download.
