NEW YORK & SYDNEY – June 25, 2025 — Kasada, the trusted provider of advanced bot defense for the web’s most targeted brands, and Vercel, the complete platform for the web, today announced a strategic partnership and the release of Vercel BotID, a zero‑friction invisible security layer that places Kasada’s battle‑tested bot defense directly into the workflows of over eight million Vercel developers.
With BotID, developers can now easily protect high-value routes, such as logins, checkouts, and LLM-powered APIs from malicious bot attacks. These endpoints are frequently targeted and costly when abused. Modern bots mimic legitimate users, bypassing basic defenses to overwhelm systems, exploit sensitive features, increase infrastructure costs, and distort analytics. Without effective bot protection, businesses risk financial loss, degraded user experiences, and reputational damage.
BotID solves these challenges without adding friction for developers or end users. It integrates through a lightweight SDK and removes the need for intrusive CAPTCHAs, an ineffective technology that offloads security to users and disrupts modern web experiences.
