THE CHALLENGES

Fraudulent Account Creation: Attackers created fake email accounts on Adobe's registration flow to launch phishing campaigns that exploited the legitimacy of Adobe's domain.
Good Users Caught in the Crossfire: Existing defenses challenged 10% of all traffic with CAPTCHA, creating unnecessary friction that hurt sign-up rates and drove excess support tickets.
Limited Detection Insight: The incumbent solution provided only a static risk score, leaving internal teams without enough signal to efficiently triage sophisticated, low-and-slow attacks.

THE ARKOSE TITAN SOLUTION

Registration Flow Protection: Arkose Titan was deployed on Adobe's account registration flow, applying real-time risk assessment to distinguish bots, fraud rings and genuine users with far greater precision.
Bot-Proof Enforcement: Suspicious sessions were served challenges purpose-built to defeat machine vision, frustrating automated scripts without impacting legitimate users.
Real-Time Intelligence and 24/7 SOC: Arkose Labs shared raw risk signals in real time and collaborated with Adobe's team to fine-tune detection. Custom telltales tracked suspicious traffic patterns, while the Arkose Labs SOC provided round-the-clock monitoring to neutralize emerging threats.
