# 63% of Bot Defense Spending Goes to Management

*November 13, 2025*

[Read on the website](<https://current.tinyfish.ai/issue/3/practitioners-corner/article/4373/63-of-bot-defense-spending-goes-to-management>)

Companies deploying bot mitigation systems spend 63% of their budgets on ongoing management and remediation. The technology itself? Just 37%.

Recent data shows 82% of companies spent at least $250,000 mitigating bot attacks last year. Thirty percent crossed $1 million. But here's what makes those numbers sting: only 20% believe their solution stayed effective for a year after deployment.

The math tells you what you're really buying. Not a product. A permanent operations problem that requires constant human intervention as attackers evolve faster than your defenses can keep up.
