Founded in Australia by Sam Crowther in 2015, Kasada staked its claim to the U.S. market in 2019 with the establishment of its New York-based U.S. headquarters and the naming of veteran cyber industry executive Pascal Podvin as CEO. Today’s announcement will fuel Kasada’s next phase of expansion, allow Kasada to build out its sales and marketing organization and enable it to continue to invest in new product development.
Podvin described the company’s offer as “a new-generation solution that puts internet control and safety back in the hands of human beings.”
Crowther shared that, “Kasada’s solution invisibly foils even the most pernicious and often unsuspected cyber traffic problems, while preserving an effortless customer journey. Many companies use CDN or WAF, or legacy cybersecurity vendors to protect against malicious automation. When we entered the market, the norm seemed to be incomplete, inefficient, easy-to-detect tools that are not only inadequate, but also costly to deploy and maintain, as well as adding friction and latency to the user experience.” Kasada delivers a solution specifically architected to address the biggest online business challenges—data-scraping and API security for a variety of markets, including ecommerce, hospitality and financial services.
