Case Study: Bank of Cyprus achieves faster DDoS mitigation and always-on digital services with Cloudflare

Bank of Cyprus stops DDoS attacks in ~5 seconds with Cloudflare

Bank of Cyprus, a systemically important financial institution, faced significant risks from large-scale DDoS attacks that threatened service availability and regulatory compliance. Their previous manual mitigation efforts were time-consuming and strained internal resources. To address this challenge, the bank partnered with vendor Cloudflare to implement its Magic Transit DDoS mitigation solution.

The Cloudflare solution provided automatic, near-instant mitigation of attacks with an average response time of five seconds. This eliminated the need for manual intervention, blocking large-scale attacks without service interruption. As a result, the bank's security team was freed from reactive firefighting to focus on strategic work, and customers experienced seamless service continuity even during active attacks.
