The challenge of account takeover (ATO) and related fraud continues to impact many of the world’s most popular web applications. Session hijacking in particular has become the “path of least resistance” for attackers because it allows them to bypass authentication entirely, including multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Flare’s Account and Session Takeover Prevention tackles these challenges by collecting and maintaining a world-class dataset of leaked credentials and active session cookies. The following ROI calculator will provide you insights into the estimated number of end-user accounts exposed to session hijacking, broken down by industry.
Please select the industry that best describes your web application.
Monthly active users (MAU) will yield the most precise results.
If you don’t know the answer to this question, we recommend setting the default to $100 per account. For more information on how to estimate the cost of an account takeover to your business, see the appendix.

Note that this calculation is only using the estimated cost of Flare’s Account and Session Takeover Prevention solution. It does not account for any labor or costs associated with building and maintaining ATO prevention workflows on the customer’s side.
Estimated monthly ROI annualized
Devices x Estimated ATO Cost
This estimate multiplies the number of devices containing active sessions in Flare’s database by the estimated ATO cost. This number provides a baseline risk exposure cost.
This is going to be highly dependent on your industry, potential fraud risks that exist within your web application, the resources you spend on ATO investigations, and other factors. In 2024, Arkose Labs published a survey indicating that an average ATO incident costs between $50-$200 per incident. This estimated range is a good starting point for quantifying ATO risk. In this calculator, we recommend $100 as the default number if you are unsure. We go into more detail about quantifying ATO costs in our {To Be Named} white paper
In short, you will need access to a mechanism by which you may verify a cookie’s validity and access to a mechanism by which you may invalidate a cookie. In most cases, these capabilities will be available in your customer identity and access management (CIAM) system. Flare offers robust API documentation, SDKs, and engineering support for Account and Session Takeover Prevention Customers.
