Fintech & Banking
PCI-DSS architectures, fraud-aware bot defense, and ultra-low-latency trading paths.
What makes this vertical uniquely demanding.
Regulatory requirements are non-negotiable
PCI-DSS, FCA, and similar frameworks mandate specific controls at the edge. Getting it wrong doesn't mean a failed audit — it means fines, operational suspension, and customer trust that takes years to rebuild.
Fraud attacks are built for your industry
Credential stuffing, synthetic identity creation, and account takeover bots target fintech platforms specifically — written for your attack surface, not generic web patterns that standard WAF rules catch.
Trading latency has a direct cost
For market data and trading flows, latency at the edge translates directly to execution disadvantage. Performance isn't a feature — it's the product, and every millisecond has a measurable price.
From first assessment to continuous operation.
Assess
We audit your current edge architecture against PCI-DSS requirements, identify gaps, and map the remediation path before a line of configuration is changed.
Architect
We design a compliant, performant deployment covering WAF, bot management, DDoS, and microsegmentation — specific to your regulatory environment and traffic patterns.
Deploy
Akamai App & API Protector, Bot Manager, and Guardicore are deployed and tuned to your traffic, with QSA-ready logging and audit trails from day one.
Operate
Continuous monitoring, quarterly compliance reviews, and 24/7 incident response — so your team focuses on the product, not the edge infrastructure.
Across our fintech client base, Eknix protects over 8 billion transactions per month on Akamai's edge — from payment APIs and trading systems to customer authentication flows and loyalty platforms.
What we typically deploy.
Web Application Security
Stop OWASP Top 10 attacks, credential stuffing, and zero-day exploits before they reach your origin.
API Security
Discover, classify, and protect every API endpoint — internal, partner, or public — across your estate.
Microsegmentation
Stop lateral movement and contain breaches with software-defined segmentation across hybrid environments.
DDoS Protection
Always-on defense against volumetric and application-layer attacks — measured in Tbps, not promises.
