Summary

Vercel has strengthened its defenses, improving response times and adding visibility for developers. The company's security capabilities now combine real-time DDoS mitigation, a powerful Web Application Firewall (WAF), and seamless SIEM integrations to provide always-on protection without added complexity. In the last quarter of 2024, Vercel blocked 87 billion attacks from 19 million unique IPs, with its firewall offering network-wide Layer 3 and Layer 4 protection, automatically mitigating DDoS threats and TCP-based attacks before they can reach applications. The company has also enhanced threat mitigation by processing malicious traffic in real time and improving mitigation features, reducing costs and preventing threats from reaching applications. Additionally, Vercel has improved visibility and alerting capabilities, providing developers with more granular Firewall data and enabling them to filter blocked requests by actions and see more details like IP Country and User Agent. The company is also expanding its security offerings to meet compliance standards, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), and is building a more secure web together with the Vercel Community. As the security landscape continues to evolve, Vercel is focusing on addressing emerging threats like DDoS attacks, sophisticated bots, and the Human Layer, and will continue to develop product features and internal programs that safeguard its customers and protect the end-user experience.
