Case Study: Major US Video Streaming Platform achieves zero bot-caused outages during "The Big Game" with Netacea

Major US Video Streaming Platform - Customer Case Study

Major US Video Streaming Platform, an OTT service with 65m+ subscribers and $7bn+ in annual subscription revenue, held exclusive live rights to the Big Game and expected roughly 120 million viewers. Facing a high risk of credential stuffing, fake-account creation and API-targeted bot attacks across many device types, the customer needed a lightweight, API-native solution; they engaged Netacea’s AI-powered Bot Protection (Intent Analytics engine) and the Netacea Bot Threat Feed.

Netacea integrated via the customer’s CDN to ingest server logs, apply machine learning analysis, and feed known-bad sources to the platform in near real-time. Netacea analyzed 24 million requests, automatically blocked five million malicious requests, flagged 35% of authentication API attempts as malicious with a 0.0001% false positive rate, and helped prevent an estimated 1,000 account takeovers — resulting in zero bot-caused outages during the Big Game and uninterrupted service for legitimate viewers.
