Recognized for its Innovation and Account & Trust Protection
Kasada, the trusted provider of advanced bot, fraud, and abuse detection, today announced it has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Bot and Agent Trust Management Software, Q2 2026. Kasada received the highest possible scores in nine criteria and earned above-average customer feedback in the evaluation.
The report reflects a significant shift in the market. Organizations increasingly need to distinguish between automation that creates business value and automation that creates risk. As AI agents, bots, and human-driven abuse become more difficult to differentiate, businesses require greater visibility into intent and behavior to make informed decisions.
"We believe this recognition as a Leader validates what we've been saying for years: stopping attacks starts with understanding who is actually behind every request," said Sam Crowther, founder and CEO of Kasada. "Organizations can't make good security, fraud, or business decisions if the underlying signals can be manipulated. That's why we've focused on protecting the integrity of those signals without needing CAPTCHAs.”
In the report, Kasada received the highest possible scores in the criteria of Innovation, Roadmap, and Pricing Flexibility & Transparency within the Strategy category. Kasada also received 5/5 scores in the following criteria within the Current Offering category, including:
- Account & Trust Protection
- AI Agent Trust Management
- Transaction Assurance & Protection
- Attack & User Analytics
- Bot & Agent Detection Explainability
- Customizable Reports & Dashboards
The recognition follows a period of significant innovation for Kasada, including the launch of Account Intelligence and AI Agent Trust. These capabilities extend Kasada's platform beyond traditional bot mitigation, helping organizations identify coordinated fraud, verify AI agents, prevent impersonation, and confidently manage automated interactions across their digital properties.
Beyond product capabilities, Kasada received above-average customer feedback in the evaluation. According to Forrester, customers describe Kasada’s product as "something that just works," citing the platform's frictionless technology and the team's deep technical expertise.
For Kasada, that feedback is reinforced by a recent commissioned Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study conducted by Forrester Consulting, which found that a composite organization representative of the interviewed customers with experience using Kasada achieved a modeled 200% ROI with payback in less than six months, alongside reduced fraud, improved operational efficiency, and cleaner business data for decision-making.
