Bot management, fully integrated.

Stop volumetric attacks, logic abuse, automation, and targeted bots with a multi-layered Bot Management system.

Manage real-time app traffic

Implement your own protections with custom rules, managed rulesets, and Vercel BotID, all from a single firewall dashboard with live traffic insights.

Layered defenses for different kinds of threats.

DDoS Protection

Protect uptime and control infrastructure cost by filtering high-volume request floods.

Web Application Firewall

Apply custom rules to implement business logic and stop credential stuffing, malformed requests, and vulnerable routes.

Bot Protection

Catch non-browser agents, spoofed headers, and simple replay attacks.

DDoS Mitigation.

Automatically mitigate Layer 3, DDoS, and other high-volume attacks before they reach your applications.

Custom rules.

Use the WAF's UI or API to define custom business logic and precisely control traffic.

Managed rulesets.

Mitigate the most critical risks, like OWASP Top 10, using predefined advanced rulesets.

Attack Challenge Mode.

Browser checks help ensure that only legitimate users can access your application during an attack.

Stop attacks before they reach your app and critical endpoints.

Stop volumetric attacks

Vercel Firewall filters billions of requests per week across TCP and HTTP layers by default.

Defend in real-time

Blocks L3/L4 and L7 DDoS attacks in real time across the entire platform.

Detection modes

Basic or deep Kasada-powered analysis, easily configurable.

Detect non-browser traffic

Identify and block headless browsers, scripts, and automation tools.

Block unauthorized AI crawlers

Optionally block known AI scrapers and model trainers with one toggle.

Session-level validation

Challenges suspicious sessions or validates traffic invisibly with Vercel BotID.

BotID: Invisible bot detection built for modern threats

Detects and blocks advanced bots with real-time, frictionless protection.

Unobtrusive human verification.

Analyzes thousands of signals per request to distinguish users from bots without friction.

Evasive bot defense.

Rotates detection methods on every page load to block replay, spoofing, and automation frameworks.

Kasada-powered deep analysis.

Uses Kasada’s machine learning models to detect the most advanced, stealthy bots in real time.

Drop-in SDK integration.

Add invisible bot protection to any route with a lightweight server-side check.

BotID for every use case

Stop scripted purchases.

Block automation that targets discounts, inventory, or payment flows.

Block fake accounts.

No signup or free-tier fraud, or fake email loops.

Protect expensive AI prompts.

Keep AI use secure to reduce prompt costs and preserve performance.

Filter analytics.

automatically exclude known and unknown bots from your analytics, keeping insights clean and actionable.

Prevent content scraping.

Stop automated tools from copying product listings, pricing, or IP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BotID always on?

You choose the routes. BotID only runs where you configure protected paths and components.

Does it replace CAPTCHA?

Yes. BotID verifies sessions invisibly. There is no user interaction.

How is it different from basic bot detection?

BotID runs detection scripts inside the session. It is resistant to spoofing, replay, and inspection.

Is BotID available to everyone?

BotID is available for all teams, with Deep Analysis checks powered by Kasada available for Pro and Enterprise teams.

Can I enable BotID selectively?

Yes. BotID supports per-component protection. You can apply it only where needed, like checkout, signup, or AI endpoints.

Will it impact performance or latency?

No. Detection runs asynchronously inside the client session and integrates into your existing routing logic.

Does BotID store user data?

No. It evaluates session validity without storing user behavior or PII.

How does it differ from scoring systems?

Scoring models estimate bot likelihood using heuristics. BotID deterministically validates session authenticity. It returns a simple pass or fail, rather than an ambiguous score.

What frameworks does it support?

BotID works natively with all frameworks. It can be used with any frontend served with Vercel.

Do I need to tune or configure bots?

No. There are no bots to manage or IP blocks, rate limits, or thresholds to tune.

How is BotID priced?

BotID includes a free Basic mode and a paid Deep Analysis mode powered by Kasada. See the docs for pricing.
