Our Assessment

DDoS attacks are designed to exhaust resources and erode customer confidence particularly devastating for financial institutions where availability is a regulatory obligation.

Upstream ISP scrubbing, CDN-based traffic absorption, and pre-arranged mitigation contracts are the fastest defences, enabling resilience before an attack lands.

Our team activates mitigation measures within minutes of detection, coordinating with providers to restore availability and protect SLA commitments.

  • Online banking restored in under 30 minutes.
  • Botnet traffic from 30 countries neutralised.
  • Mitigation contracts activated on first alert.
  • Regulatory reporting completed.
  • Customer services prioritised during recovery.
