Case Study: Fortune 500 Retailer achieves $1.78M in bot-attack cost savings and 4.55x ROI in 2 months with Cequence Security

Fortune 500 Retailer - Customer Case Study

Fortune 500 Retailer was suffering large-scale automated bot attacks that drove account takeover (ATO) attempts and related harms — PII theft, reward and gift-card theft, password resets and account lockouts — which increased support costs, fraud losses and infrastructure oversizing. After a proof-of-concept with four vendors, the retailer selected Cequence Security and deployed its AI-powered application protection platform (Cequence ASP / Cequence platform) to stop credential-stuffing and automated ATO activity.

Cequence Security’s solution detected and blocked malicious bot traffic, dramatically reducing ATOs and operational strain; the deployment delivered $1,775,000 in measurable cost savings on a $500,000 investment (a 4.55x ROI) with payback in two months, while also cutting customer-support load and mitigating brand damage. Overall the retailer avoided an estimated $2.275M in annual costs tied to compromised accounts and infrastructure oversizing, demonstrating the tangible impact of Cequence Security’s platform.
