Summary

Vercel has successfully blocked over 148 billion malicious requests from 108 million unique IP addresses since February, cutting response time and expanding control. The company's real-time DDoS filtering, managed Web Application Firewall (WAF), and enhanced visibility ensure consistent, proactive security for its users. Vercel has also introduced new security enhancements such as the Bot Filter, which challenges non-browser bot traffic without disrupting critical automations. Additionally, the company has rolled out faster denial-of-service mitigation with Protectd, a powerful update to its denial-of-service (DoS) mitigation infrastructure. Furthermore, Vercel has released a comprehensive Secure SDLC whitepaper and proactively hardened its platform against high-severity vulnerabilities in open-source frameworks. The company also continues to improve its Firewall usability, including finer control during active threats and deeper visibility into malicious traffic patterns.
