Bank Boosts Network Availability with DDoS Defense

CHALLENGE

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have emerged as one of the most severe security threats facing organizations with a substantial online presence.

Zenith Bank, in response to its expanding array of online services, has continued to innovate and introduce more offerings. Recognizing the inherent DDoS risk—namely, the potential for an attack and its potential impact on its operations, Zenith Bank sought an Anti-DDoS Solution capable of delivering comprehensive protection for its online services and IT infrastructure.

This strategic move aims to ensure uninterrupted service availability, effectively mitigate financial risks associated with service unavailability, safeguard brand reputation, and preempt potential regulatory sanctions.

VALUE DELIVERED

The solution has enabled Zenith Bank to innovate and grow its online footprint without fear of successful attack. The solution has effectively mitigated targeted multi-vector DDoS attacks on Zenith Bank’s web platforms and dependencies, providing the bank with a return on investment (ROI) of over 146% year-over-year.

IMPLEMENTATION

TigerLogic worked closely with Zenith Bank to understand its IT environment and security requirements, and recommended the Arbor Anti-DDoS Solution, which is a best-in-class solution for DDoS mitigation on-premises and in the cloud.

The solution provides intelligently automated multi- layered DDoS attack protection, continuously backed by global contextual threat intelligence. This protects Zenith Bank’s IT infrastructure against the whole spectrum of DDoS attacks, including volumetric, state- exhaustion, and application-layer DDoS attacks.

TigerLogic worked closely with Zenith Bank’s security analysts to deploy and configure the solution, then trained Zenith Bank’s staff to manage and support it.
