Financial Services
Banks, fintechs, microfinance institutions, insurers, and capital-market firms run the most network-dependent, and most attacked, operations in Nigeria. Hundreds of branches, thousands of ATMs and POS terminals, real-time core banking, inter-bank settlement, and a threat profile that includes BEC, ransomware, ATM jackpotting, and DDoS during peak hours. Secure SD-WAN is the single platform that addresses both reliability and security.
Engaging tier-2 commercial banks, microfinance institutions, fintechs, and insurers on SD-WAN modernization. Pilot cohort under NDA, reference designs available on request.
- Hundreds of branches on legacy WAN, no graceful failover, weak segmentation
- ATM and POS uptime visible to customers and reportable to the regulator
- BEC, phishing, and credential stuffing targeting branch and HQ users
- Ransomware exposure across distributed sites with inconsistent patching
- DDoS pressure during peak banking hours and product launches
- Insider risk amplified by ICT staff turnover and contractor access
- MPLS contracts costing more each year while delivering less flexibility
- CBN Risk-Based Cybersecurity Framework + NDPA 2023 expectations rising faster than legacy stacks can adapt
- Secure SD-WAN, NGFW, ZTNA, IDS/IPS, DNS security, and SD-WAN as one platform
- Active-active fiber + LTE + Starlink underlays with sub-3-second failover
- Microsegmentation: cardholder, branch ops, ATM, third-party, guest, all distinct
- Identity-bound access for branch staff and third-party vendors (ATM switch, payment processors)
- DDoS scrubbing-service integration for peak-hour resilience
- Encrypted overlays from branch → DC and DC → DR site
- EDR / XDR integration with leading endpoint vendors
- 24/7 NOC + SOC tied to your existing SIEM and ITSM
- Architecture mapped to CBN Risk-Based Cybersecurity Framework, PCI-DSS, NDPA 2023
Branch SLA-grade uptime across distributed locations
MPLS-to-SD-WAN migration delivering 15–25% bandwidth-cost reduction at scale
Failover behaviour that keeps customer-facing transactions alive
