Case Study: Q2 achieves secure, scalable digital banking for rapid growth with Cloudflare Magic Transit

Q2 - Customer Case Study

Q2 is a digital banking platform that powers online and mobile experiences for one in ten U.S. consumers and 35% of the top 100 banks. As the company shifted to a distributed cloud model and planned rapid growth from $500M in revenue, it faced intense availability and security demands—supporting 19 million users and ensuring uptime and protection against large-scale DDoS and malicious traffic that previously accounted for roughly 35% of inbound requests.

Q2 deployed Cloudflare Magic Transit as the front door to its network, automatically blocking malicious traffic (mitigations in under three seconds) and providing over 100 Tbps of capacity, load balancing, edge firewalling, and caching. Integrated infrastructure-as-code APIs let developers provision network services on the fly and avoid vendor lock-in, resulting in 4 billion banking logins protected in 2021, reduced bandwidth waste, improved customer experience and operations, and the scalability to pursue aggressive growth targets.
