Zoosk virtually eliminates romance scams with Cequence Security

Zoosk, a leading online dating company, faced significant challenges from automated attacks targeting its mobile app APIs. These account takeover and fake account creation attacks led to romance scams that caused substantial financial fraud, averaging $12,000 per incident, and threatened the company's brand reputation. To protect its users and its business, Zoosk sought a solution and turned to Cequence Security and its Bot Defense product.

Cequence Security implemented its AI-powered Application Security Platform, which uses an out-of-band analytics engine to detect and block automated attacks without impacting Zoosk's development workflow. This solution virtually eliminated the romance scams by preventing the automated attacks. As a result, Zoosk secured its users, maintained its brand reputation, and saw reduced infrastructure costs due to the blocking of malicious, automated traffic.
