# NGINX - LUA Module

HUMAN Bot Defender is designed for high scalability and seamless integration with NGINX. Detection and blocking of all attack types can start almost immediately. Risk scoring and blocking of bad bots is automatic and does not require any dedicated employees to monitor. There is no impact on performance, and there will be a reduction in requests and load to the system with the elimination of bad bot requests.
