# Preventing ATO Without Compromising User Experience

***Get Ahead of the Next ATO Attack***

Threat actors have developed simple but devastating techniques: **using credentials stolen in one breach to hijack accounts across multiple platforms.** 

The challenge? Striking the right balance between user experience and security. Even layered defenses like multi-factor authentication (MFA) don’t fully eliminate the risk.

In this paper, you’ll discover:

- How stolen credentials enable widespread account takeover (ATO)
- Why MFA and other friction-heavy solutions fall short
- Smarter ways to defend your users—without sacrificing usability

**Download the paper to understand the threat—and how to stop it without losing users.**

### Protect Your Users Before It’s Too Late
