A Major Financial Institution Adopts SkyCloud CDN and Anti-DDoS Solutions, Balancing Protection Performance, Cost Efficiency, and Local Technical Support

As financial institutions continue to strengthen their cybersecurity resilience, DDoS protection must go beyond responding to attacks. It must also ensure service continuity, backup capabilities, and cost efficiency. For critical financial infrastructure, in addition to establishing a comprehensive on-premises protection architecture, cloud-based security services are also essential to maintaining the stability of core services during unexpected attacks.

After completing a financial cybersecurity drill, a major financial institution officially adopted SkyCloud CDN and Anti-DDoS services to further strengthen its existing cloud and on-premises collaborative defense architecture while balancing protection performance, cost efficiency, and local technical support.

Background: Seeking a More Cost-Effective Cloud-Based Backup Solution with Existing Protection Already in Place

The financial institution had already established a comprehensive on-premises cybersecurity protection architecture and adopted cloud-based protection services from internationally renowned providers to build a cloud and on-premises collaborative defense mechanism, demonstrating a high level of overall defense maturity.

During the financial cybersecurity drill, SkyCloud joined the institution's existing cloud and on-premises collaborative defense architecture to help validate its locally provided Anti-DDoS protection capabilities. During the exercise, SkyCloud handled a portion of the attack traffic and successfully defended against slow-rate attacks, application-layer attacks, and hybrid DDoS attacks. Its protection performance was comparable to that of the internationally renowned provider originally used by the institution, earning strong recognition from the cybersecurity drill participants.

After the successful validation, the financial institution began evaluating the adoption of SkyCloud CDN and Anti-DDoS services. Its goal was to maintain financial-grade protection while improving cost efficiency, technical support responsiveness, and operational flexibility for ongoing maintenance.

Solution: Implementing SkyCloud Cloud-Based Backup Protection to Build a Dual-Layer Resilience Architecture

Following the financial cybersecurity drill and successful validation of its protection capabilities, SkyCloud integrated CDN and Anti-DDoS protection services based on the financial institution's existing architecture. By distributing traffic across global CDN nodes and combining this with a three-layer traffic scrubbing mechanism, the solution effectively enhances website availability and DDoS defense capabilities. Integration was also completed without requiring major changes to the existing system architecture.

The financial cybersecurity drill demonstrated that SkyCloud delivered protection performance comparable to internationally renowned cloud security services against slow-rate attacks, application-layer attacks, and hybrid DDoS attacks. Compared with the institution's existing solution, SkyCloud provides enterprise-grade CDN and DDoS protection at approximately one-third of the implementation cost. In addition, its Taiwan-based technical team provides real-time support, security policy adjustments, and ongoing maintenance services, helping the customer respond quickly to various cybersecurity incidents while balancing protection performance, operational efficiency, and long-term maintenance costs.

Results: Successful Validation Through Financial Cybersecurity Drills and Official Adoption of Cloud-Based Backup Protection

The financial cybersecurity drill not only validated the protection capabilities of SkyCloud CDN and Anti-DDoS services under real-world attack scenarios but also served as a key basis for the financial institution's decision to officially adopt the solution. After completing the drill, the institution formally deployed SkyCloud and integrated it into its existing protection architecture, further strengthening its overall financial cybersecurity resilience.

With protection performance comparable to international brands, more competitive implementation costs, and responsive services from a Taiwan-based technical team, SkyCloud successfully secured the customer's adoption. This also demonstrates that Taiwan-developed CDN and Anti-DDoS solutions can meet the financial industry's stringent requirements for high availability, strong security, and high-quality service.
