How the company used Arkose Labs to gain deeper visibility into high-risk sessions, hidden abuse patterns, and fraudulent account creation attempts.
How the platform’s young, high-engagement demographic required defenses that would not disrupt legitimate users.
How Arkose’s telltale signals, behavioral analytics, and dynamic enforcement helped Snap understand intent and take confident, targeted action.
How Arkose Labs provided dedicated analysts, custom playbooks, and high-touch operational collaboration not available from previous vendors.
How Arkose Labs integrated seamlessly with AWS services—CloudFront, WAFv2, load balancers, and monitoring tools—to deliver fast, resilient protection across Snapchat’s ecosystem.
Snap wanted to improve its security posture, reduce fake accounts, and demonstrate measurable cost savings. After facing gaps with its previous solution—and evaluating the cost of building in-house—the company sought a platform capable of detecting critical risk, orchestrating challenges, and reducing latency.
During the Proof of Value, Arkose Bot Manager ran in observatory mode, risk-scoring sessions to surface high-risk activity. Arkose’s telltales enabled the SOC and security engineering teams to profile traffic and quickly identify abnormal behavior, empowering Snap to take accurate defensive action.
Snapchat highlighted the depth of engagement: assigned account managers, a dedicated security analyst, and a solution architect who understood Snap’s environment—plus 24/7 SOC coverage. Snap described this as a level of partnership they had not experienced with previous security vendors.
Arkose Labs leverages AWS’s global infrastructure to deliver highly available, low-latency protection. Using services like CloudFront, WAFv2, NLB/ALB, and Amazon Managed Service for Prometheus, Arkose Labs delivers reliable, scalable SaaS deployments that complement Snapchat’s architecture and strengthen application security at global scale.
The company reduced fake accounts, strengthened detection of critical-risk sessions, and cut SMS-related fraud costs by preventing fraudsters from entering the funnel. The combined impact improved user safety, protected operational budgets, and validated Arkose Labs as a high-ROI solution.
