Industry Requirements
As financial services rapidly digitize, online transactions have become the norm, shifting operations to electronic channels. This evolution demands IT infrastructure that is not only more complex but also far more resilient to ensure uninterrupted business operations. Key challenges facing the industry include:
As the first critical step in accessing any online service, the Domain Name System (DNS) must maintain constant, high availability. It requires robust protection from threats like DDoS and hijacking, and must adhere to the strict compliance standards of the finance sector.
With institutions relying on multiple data centers across different locations, intelligently managing traffic and ensuring quick failover during outages is essential for maintaining continuous service availability.
Scattered branches, many separate IP addresses, and a large number of domains are hard to control with old tools, which prevents a clear overview and makes it difficult to scale up easily.
Dependence on foreign or open-source technologies poses security and supply chain risks. There is a growing need for homegrown, secure solutions to ensure long-term operational independence.
Solution Brief
Tailored for the financial sector, this solution is built on the core principles of "Intelligence, Security, and Resilience," establishing a unified DDI service framework to help financial institutions achieve the following goals:
Integrates DNS, DHCP, and IPAM core functions to enable full lifecycle management of network resources, simplifying operations across distributed branches and multi-tenant environments.
Supports intelligent traffic routing across multiple data centers with second-level disaster recovery failover, ensuring zero interruption of financial services even during extreme scenarios.
Leverages threat intelligence integration, DNSSEC validation, and malicious domain blocking to build multi-layered security defenses from internal networks to the public internet.
Provides a scalable and secure infrastructure that is compatible with required domestic technologies for the financial sector.
Use Cases
Enables precise traffic distribution across multi-site, multi-data center architectures using Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB). By continuously monitoring backend health, it dynamically optimizes user access paths to reduce transaction latency and supports rapid failover for both local and remote disaster recovery scenarios.
Automates the allocation and conflict detection of IPv4/IPv6 addresses across head office networks, branch offices, and cloud environments. A centralized visual management platform provides unified oversight and efficient utilization of fragmented IP resources.
Protects high-traffic services like online banking and mobile payments with DNS-layer security. Features include real-time blocking of malicious domains, DNSSEC validation, and DDoS mitigation to secure the internet entry point and safeguard customer data and funds.
Establishes a hierarchical DNS service for headquarters and branches. Enables centralized policy deployment and operations across all locations, simplifying the management of distributed IT infrastructure and improving overall operational efficiency.
Key Benefits
Ensures business continuity through intelligent traffic steering and multi-active architecture support, meeting regulatory requirements such as the Financial Industry Information System Disaster Recovery Management Guidelines.
Enables real-time monitoring, precise identification, and proactive blocking of network threats, reducing business disruption risks from DNS attacks and helping build a comprehensive risk management framework.
Leverages automated management tools and a unified platform to minimize manual intervention, lower network management costs, and free up IT resources to focus on core business innovation.
Provides a scalable and elastic network foundation for emerging services like financial cloud, open banking, and smart branches, accelerating the integration of technology and business to advance digital finance strategies.
