Financial institutions are an increasingly attractive target for cyber criminals due to the growth in online banking and their reliance on the Internet and networks to conduct transactions and share information. Identity theft, online fraud and extortion are all criminal motives. Financial institutions subject to a real time DDoS attack are exposed to significant loss in earnings and capital, not to mention customer confidence. The theft of confidential information under new legal and regulatory mandates to prevent such loss makes the risk to financial institutions even greater.

DDoS attacks cannot be prevented, so detection is imperative. Deploying technology in house to prevent or mitigate an attack is costly. Most solutions cannot scale to the size of the attack, which can be bigger than an organization’s Internet links. The best place to mitigate the attack therefore is ‘in the clouds’ through the Prolexic managed DDos prevention service. Also from a regulatory point of view, it is important to maintain a history of traffic patterns and breaches for audit and reporting purpose.

Prolexic provides:

  • Most cost effective way to protect multiple locations
  • Remote network monitoring and DDoS detection
  • Advanced threat identification and notification
  • Integrated technological and process controls to re-route
  • Traffic on demand in response to attack conditions

  • Regularly scheduled testing of monitoring, alerting, notification and mitigation systems and controls
