About Kasada Join us in stopping bad bots, for good! Kasada protects millions of online users every day. Founded to stop automated bot attacks, we believe the internet should be a safe place for everyone. Bad bots are highly destructive. They take over accounts, steal content, overload systems and infrastructure, and cause billions of dollars in damages every year. Seeking to restore trust in the internet, Kasada stops bots at the very first request including those that have never been seen before.
We've grown from a few friends working out of a shipping container under the Sydney Harbour Bridge to now operating globally, protecting some of the most well-known brands on the face of the earth.
