About WebDecoy
WebDecoy is a bot detection and AI-traffic visibility service for websites, web applications and online stores. It collects browser and request signals, records interactions with decoy elements, and adds IP context to help developers and site operators investigate suspicious visits. The service distinguishes observed AI crawler activity from AI referrals reported by analytics, so teams can review each separately. WebDecoy offers a WordPress plugin with local detection and a Shopify app with detection and order-review workflows; custom application and edge integrations support other request paths. Detection and enforcement vary with integration and configuration. Browser-tag monitoring cannot observe clients that do not execute the tag. WebDecoy is intended for developers, website operators, ecommerce merchants and security teams seeking insight into automated traffic.

CanaryVaults
CanaryVaults is a deception-based security platform for AI applications and agents. It uses decoy signals to reveal exposed credentials, data leaks, prompt injection, and suspicious agent activity. Its six components include decoy email identities; CanaryRAG, which embeds invisible, plausible false facts in documents to reveal when their contents surface in AI responses; CanaryShield, a three-layer prompt-injection firewall available as an OpenAI-compatible proxy or an API for scoring text; CanaryHoneypot, decoy AI endpoints that return synthetic data and record attacker activity; CanaryAudit, a tamper-evident log of agent actions; and CanaryAgent (early access), which provides heartbeats, skill scans, and an action timeline for OpenClaw agents. Alerts are available through email, Slack, Discord, Telegram, and HMAC-signed webhooks. API access is included on all plans. A free plan requires no credit card, and paid plans start at $12/month.

Centinel
Centinel is a bot and AI crawler protection platform for websites and apps that verifies legitimate search and AI crawlers while detecting scrapers and automated traffic that resemble real visitors. It evaluates the request, browser, connection, and session together rather than relying on a single signal, helping distinguish declared crawlers, basic scripted clients, browser automation tools, spoofed browsers, and commercial scraping APIs. Teams can define an access policy that determines whether traffic should be allowed, challenged, or blocked based on the evidence Centinel collects. It runs alongside existing infrastructure, with a CDN, reverse proxy, or application asking Centinel to evaluate each request before the page or API response is served. It supports environments using Cloudflare, CloudFront, Akamai, Fastly, and similar edge infrastructure without requiring teams to replace their existing stack.
