Case Study: Fubon Financial reduces API security risks with Kong Gateway Enterprise

Fubon Financial Reduces API Security Risks with Kong Gateway Enterprise

Fubon Financial, a major Asia-Pacific financial services holding company with multiple subsidiaries, needed a more flexible API management approach to support disparate legacy and modern environments while maintaining centralized policy and governance. It also wanted to reduce the complexity and error-proneness of manually managing authentication and authorization across its APIs, and chose Kong Gateway Enterprise as its API management platform.

With Kong, Fubon Financial standardized API governance across subsidiaries while allowing each unit to operate autonomously under centrally defined security policies. Kong’s plugin architecture helped Fubon reduce and mitigate security risks for external open APIs, improve auditability, and speed service integration and development across the region.
