Akamai Bot Manager
Akamai Bot Manager is the bot-detection and mitigation layer of the Akamai edge platform, used to challenge or block automated clients. ScanMalware detects it from the sensor scripts and cookies (_abck and similar) it injects into pages.
Its presence means a site actively profiles visitors for automation, which can interrupt scans and is itself a signal of how heavily defended the property is. It says nothing about whether the underlying site is safe.
