Case Study: Largest Canada Pizza achieves proactive API protection and blocks credential-stuffing attacks with Cequence Security

Canada’s Largest Pizza Chain Moved from Reactive to Proactive API Protection with Cequence

Largest Canada Pizza, a 50+-year-old chain with over 750 locations and roughly $750M in annual revenue, faced a surge of web and mobile traffic — including automated credential-stuffing and brute‑force campaigns that targeted its cloud-based order fulfillment and rewards APIs. To move from reactive incident response to proactive API protection, the company engaged Cequence Security and deployed the Cequence Unified API Protection solution.

Cequence Security implemented its Unified API Protection in the pizza chain’s Google Cloud environment to automatically detect and block malicious campaigns, using ML-driven threat detection and collaboration with Cequence’s threat management team. The deployment cut cloud traffic/bandwidth costs by at least 25% within weeks, mitigated over 575,000 ATO login attempts (at peak >80% of login traffic), prevented more than 5,800 account takeovers (saving about $1.6M), and improved security analyst productivity by 12.5%.
