Case Study: A major financial trading organization in Taiwan blocks large-scale attacks without impacting customer experiences with Cloudflare

Major Financial Trading Organization in Taiwan blocks 350x attack traffic with Cloudflare

A major financial trading organization in Taiwan faced challenges with outdated on-premises security that could not handle modern, large-scale cyber attacks. When regulations eased, they sought a cloud-based solution with strict requirements: data must not route through China, costs for clean traffic needed control, and performance had to remain flawless for time-sensitive trading. They partnered with Cloudflare and its Select Partner Twister5 to address these needs using Cloudflare's Web Application Firewall (WAF) and DDoS mitigation.

Cloudflare, configured by Twister5, filtered traffic through nodes in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, ensuring regulatory compliance. The solution provided clear traffic visibility, revealing actual volumes were five times previous estimates, and Cloudflare's policy of not charging for malicious traffic helped control costs. The organization successfully blocked an attack 350 times larger than normal traffic without any performance impact, maintaining uninterrupted customer transactions and building a robust defense against evolving AI-powered threats.
