Hi @webcart
Thank you for the update.
The link below has the following details:

“Bot Protection will essentially identify traffic surges, block malicious traffic, protect your website from attacks, reduce server resource usage, and in addition, provide a detailed traffic report within the Cloudways Platform.”
Wordfence also has this functionality:

“Another important outcome of the bot traffic management is protection against Denial of Service (DoS) attacks that could paralyze your website and server.”
Wordfence was not built to protect against DoS / DDoS protection. When optimized, the Wordfence Firewall will significantly reduce the amount of resources that are used by each individual request that is made to your site. The reason for this is that the Wordfence Firewall loads before any other code loads on your site. But if you are actually targeted by a DoS / DDoS attack, you need something other than a Firewall. What you need is a DoS / DDoS mitigation service. It’s called mitigation, because there is no way to actually block requests without using resources.
“Brute force login attacks are another notorious category of threat that can compromise your WordPress websites.”
Wordfence has a full and complete suite of tools to prevent brute force login attacks:
