Kasada is a bot-mitigation and fraud-prevention platform for websites and APIs. The company names Bot Defense, which stops sophisticated bots without CAPTCHAs, Account Intelligence for human-driven fraud, AI Agent Trust to govern which AI agents may access resources, and Kasada IQ for Fraud as components. Typical uses include account takeover, scraping, guest-checkout fraud, SMS toll fraud and promotion abuse. In technical write-ups Kasada describes a combination of client-application fingerprinting through JavaScript inspection and a cryptographic proof-of-work challenge whose difficulty rises with request volume. Protection operates at the edge; the homepage does not describe a precise delivery model.
Kasada says it operates from offices in New York and Sydney, as well as Boston and San Francisco, among others; sources do not give a consistent headquarters. The software is not open source. The pages consulted give no information on where customer data is hosted, so European organisations with data-residency requirements should ask Kasada directly.
