Case Study: Heritage Bank achieves 24/7 DDoS protection and secure remote access with F5 Networks

Heritage Bank Improves DDoS Protection and Ensures Secure Remote Application Access with F5

Heritage Bank, Australia’s largest customer‑owned bank, faced an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape, limited remote access for staff, and the operational overhead of a multi‑vendor network architecture. To strengthen security and enable flexible working, Heritage Bank engaged F5 Networks and deployed solutions including Silverline DDoS Protection and BIG‑IP components (APM, LTM, ASM, DNS).

F5 Networks replaced the bank’s multi‑vendor stack with a consolidated F5 suite—Silverline DDoS Protection plus BIG‑IP LTM, ASM, APM and DNS—providing 24/7 DDoS mitigation, SSL VPN and fast remote application access, and unified system management. The outcome: continuous DDoS protection, improved staff productivity and flexible working, simplified operations via single‑vendor management, and a scalable platform that supports future cloud migration.
