NEW YORK – October 9, 2025 – Kasada, the trusted provider of advanced bot defense for the world’s most targeted brands, today announced it has been recognized as the “e-Commerce Security Solution of the Year” in the 9th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards.
The CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards honor the most innovative technologies shaping the future of cybersecurity. This year’s program received thousands of nominations from more than 20 countries, covering everything from emerging startups to global enterprises.
Kasada delivers breakthrough protection against automated threats that cause the most damage to e-Commerce and digital businesses, including account takeover, fake account creation, checkout fraud, web scraping, abuse targeting APIs and LLMs, and more. Protecting more than $150 billion in annual e-Commerce, Kasada significantly reduces fraud and lowers infrastructure costs while improving site performance and the customer experience.
Kasada takes a fundamentally different approach to stopping bots by targeting the automation itself. Invisible sensors collect hidden traces of automation within the client, verified by proof of execution to expose bypass attempts. AI/ML based on trillions of bot interactions detect automated session behavior and anticipate future attack methods. The result is durable protection without rules or risk scores, providing a seamless experience for genuine users with no CAPTCHA.
Additionally, Kasada’s Threat Intelligence Team (KasadaIQ) actively monitors underground criminal marketplaces and fraud-as-a-service communities to stay ahead of attackers. Intelligence gathered is turned into active defenses deployed within minutes, with no code changes or software updates required.
“AI and bots are outpacing traditional defenses. Attackers use AI-generated scripts, residential proxy networks, and bots-as-a-service to overwhelm outdated tools,” said Sam Crowther, CEO and Founder of Kasada. “Kasada flips the script on these attacks, making them unviable. As a result, our customers see immediate impact: many achieving over 90% reduction in bad bot traffic, higher conversion rates, and lower costs.”
The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Covering a wide range of categories – including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more – the annual program highlights the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.
The 2025 awards program received thousands of nominations from more than 20 countries around the world, representing everything from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.
“The fastest evolving threat now is malicious automation at its source, but reactive tools and outdated defenses can’t keep up,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “Kasada confronts modern bot attacks with a bold architectural shift – detecting automation itself, in real time, at the application layer. Their approach to security breaks the cat-and-mouse cycle while eliminating friction for real users. We’re so pleased to award Kasada with ‘e-Commerce Security Solution of the Year.’”
