Kasada, a leading provider of sophisticated bot mitigation solutions for the internet’s most frequently targeted brands, has partnered with Vercel, the premier platform for frontend development and deployment, to launch Vercel BotID. This new, zero-friction security layer seamlessly embeds Kasada’s proven bot protection directly into the workflows of Vercel’s expansive community of over eight million developers.
Designed to safeguard high-value endpoints—such as login portals, checkout flows, and APIs powered by large language models (LLMs)—BotID addresses the growing challenge of malicious automated traffic. Today’s bots are increasingly sophisticated, often mimicking human behavior to bypass traditional defenses. These attacks can lead to elevated infrastructure costs, corrupted analytics, compromised security features, and ultimately, a degraded user experience and potential revenue loss.
Vercel BotID offers an elegant and developer-friendly solution that removes the need for CAPTCHAs—an outdated and intrusive method that offloads security responsibility to users and disrupts seamless web interactions. Instead, BotID delivers robust protection through a lightweight SDK that’s easy to implement and invisible to end users.
Vercel BotID: Powered by Kasada
-
Effortless Integration: Drop-in component with no need for complex configurations or threshold tuning.
-
Unmatched Accuracy: Uses advanced client-side interrogation and server-side machine learning, trained on trillions of bot interactions.
-
Built for Resilience: Employs real-time, randomized obfuscation to prevent adversarial replays and bot retooling.
-
Seamless Experience: Operates quietly in the background without CAPTCHAs, preserving the user experience.
“With BotID, we’ve made the most advanced bot defense as easy to use as any modern dev tool,” said Sam Crowther, CEO and Founder of Kasada. “This partnership puts our bot protection in the hands of Vercel’s developer community, without a learning curve or friction.”
BotID integrates natively with Next.js apps and deploys through Vercel’s Framework-defined Infrastructure. This ties security directly to the application lifecycle, reduces onboarding time, supports billing integration, and ensures security remains up-to-date with every code push. The protection evolves continuously alongside the frontend and functions invisibly to secure every user interaction.
“Kasada shares our commitment to helping developers ship faster without compromising security,” said Malte Ubl, CTO of Vercel. “BotID enhances Vercel’s Bot Management by eliminating friction for developers and end users while delivering a security layer we trust for our most critical applications. It’s purpose-built to defend against today’s sophisticated fraud and abuse tactics.”
