## Bot settings vs. custom rules
Bot Management customers have both bot settings (configured in **Security Settings**) and the ability to create custom rules using bot score fields. Start with the bot settings for baseline protection, then add custom rules only when you need additional control.
| Feature | Handled by bot settings | When to use custom rules instead |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Block or challenge definitely automated traffic | No | Path-specific rules, custom thresholds, or combining with other fields |
| Block or challenge likely automated traffic | No | Path-specific rules, custom thresholds, or combining with other fields |
| Allow or block verified bots | No | Granular control by verified bot category |
| Block AI crawlers | Yes | Target individual AI crawlers using detection IDs |
| Protect static resources | No | Exclude static resources from specific rules |
| Optimize for WordPress | No | No |
| Forward bot data to origin | No | Use [Transform Rules](https://fec4cfc0.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/rules/transform/) or [Snippets](https://fec4cfc0.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/rules/snippets/) |
| Detection ID targeting | No | Use `cf.bot_management.detection_ids` in [custom rules](https://fec4cfc0.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/waf/custom-rules/) |
| JA3/JA4 fingerprint rules | No | Use `cf.bot_management.ja3_hash` or `cf.bot_management.ja4` in [custom rules](https://fec4cfc0.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/waf/custom-rules/) |
