Case Study: Taichung Bank Securities Investment Trust Co. strengthens web performance and DDoS protection with Akamai Technologies

Taichung Bank Securities Investment Trust works with Akamai to strengthen internet speed and DDoS defense

Taichung Bank Securities Investment Trust, a Taipei-based investment firm founded in 1995, sought to strengthen both internal and external information security while improving website speed and reliability for investors and staff. With rising, unpredictable DDoS threats and concerns about the cost and maintenance burden of in‑house or capacity‑based WAF solutions, the company needed a scalable, cost‑effective way to prevent downtime and protect sensitive transactions.

Taichung Bank deployed Akamai services (WAF/Kona Site Defender, CDN, Site Shield, Net Storage and acceleration) through partner Sysage, validated via a two‑month POC and ongoing policy reviews. The solution hid origin IPs, used traffic‑scrubbing billing to avoid oversized fixed capacity charges, and improved page performance—resulting in stronger DDoS and hacking protection, lower security costs, and a faster, more reliable experience for investors and staff.
