Case Study: Mega International Commercial Bank achieves 24/7 DDoS protection, faster performance, and 50% bandwidth cost savings with Akamai Technologies

Akamai protects Mega Bank’s DNS infrastructure from DDoS attacks and provides a fast, reliable, and secure web experience

Mega International Commercial Bank, a leading Taiwanese bank with extensive domestic and international branches, needed to ensure seamless, secure online access for customers as it expanded globally. Rising bandwidth costs, occasional pauses in internal operations to preserve customer-facing capacity, and an on‑demand local security service that could not instantly mitigate DDoS attacks left the bank exposed and prompted a search for a more resilient solution.

Mega Bank deployed Akamai Web Performance and Cloud Security solutions to offload traffic to the Akamai Intelligent Platform, accelerate delivery, and protect its authoritative DNS 24/7. The deployment halved average bandwidth consumption (40 Mbps to 20 Mbps), supported a 20% increase in web traffic with no performance impact, improved page load speed (1.67× faster), and reduced infrastructure and bandwidth investment costs by about 50% while fully mitigating DDoS attacks.
