Bot-detection startup Spur nabs $200M from Insight

Spur Intelligence raised $200 million in a round led by Insight Partners to expand its bot detection technology.

The Florida-based cybersecurity startup helps companies distinguish real users from hidden bot traffic and related threats.

The deal comes as Cloudflare says bots now generate more internet traffic than humans, highlighting rising demand for fraud detection tools.

Founded in 2017 by former Defense Department engineers, Spur is positioning itself to combat increasingly automated and anonymized online activity.
