Cyber Defense Magazine’s 13th Annual Awards Program Recognizes Innovative Security Solutions
Kasada, the trusted provider of advanced bot defense for the world’s most targeted brands, today announced it has been recognized with the “Trailblazing AI Abuse Protection” and “Trailblazing Bot Mitigation” awards in the 13th Annual Cyber Defense Awards.
As AI reshapes how both attackers and legitimate users interact with the web, Kasada is setting a new standard for precision in bot management and online fraud prevention. Adversaries are using AI to launch smarter and faster bot attacks, including credential stuffing, LLM abuse, and large-scale data scraping. At the same time, legitimate AI agents are becoming a normal part of online activity. Kasada’s platform provides the accuracy needed to tell the difference between harmful automation, beneficial bots, and trustworthy AI interactions with unmatched accuracy and control.
“We’re honored to be recognized among this year’s Cyber Defense Awards winners during CyberDefenseCon 2025,” said Sam Crowther, Founder and CEO of Kasada. “AI-enabled applications have unleashed a new wave of automated abuse, amplifying the damage bots inflict and driving up costs for businesses everywhere. Kasada is leading the industry with a modern approach to bot defense that adapts to evolving automated threats and helps our customers stay ahead of rapidly evolving adversaries.”
“Kasada embodies three major features we judges look for with the potential to become winners: understanding tomorrow’s threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach,” said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.
