Case Study: Verspieren stops credential stuffing, improves security and cuts infrastructure costs with DataDome

Verspieren puts an end to credential stuffing attacks with DataDome

Verspieren, a global insurance broker founded in 1880, faced a surge of highly distributed credential stuffing attacks that multiplied website traffic tenfold, degraded performance, filled log storage and drove up infrastructure costs. To stop automated login attempts and protect customer data, Verspieren turned to DataDome and its anti-bot protection.

DataDome’s solution was implemented in under 48 hours with just a few lines of code and a reverse-proxy module, rapidly blocking the bots upstream while preserving legitimate user experience. As a result, overall traffic fell back by a factor of 10, response times improved, and Verspieren reduced infrastructure resource usage by 20–30%; the team also regained control over third-party API access, plans to remove static captchas, and reports significantly improved security and peace of mind thanks to DataDome.
