The Challenge

Growing cyber threats for banks

As a direct bank with over 5.8 million customers, DKB relies on the availability and security of its online services. Cyber attacks, especially DDoS attacks, have become the biggest business risk for financial institutions in recent years. Even short outages can lead to significant economic damage, loss of trust, and regulatory consequences. DKB was therefore faced with the challenge of permanently securing its systems against high-frequency and increasingly complex attacks.

The solution

Comprehensive protection with Myra Security

With Myra Security, DKB chose a partner that offers comprehensive protection mechanisms specifically designed for critical infrastructures. The solution includes protection against volumetric attacks at the network level as well as securing the application layer against overload attacks. The concept is complemented by a powerful web application firewall, intelligent bot management, and a dedicated connection outside of public providers. This not only gives DKB maximum security and performance, but also the regulatory compliance that is essential in the financial industry.

Moritz Otte

Head of Digital Products & Technology, DKB

The investment in Myra pays off for us many times over. The downtime costs alone that we would incur as a result of a single cyberattack would exceed the annual expenditure for the security service many times over. In addition, by outsourcing to a German security specialist, we are optimally positioned from a regulatory perspective."

The implementation

Seamless integration and outstanding compliance

DKB has been successfully using Myra Security's certified protection services since 2020. The implementation was designed so that it could be carried out without interrupting ongoing banking operations. Today, DKB benefits from a stable and transparent security architecture that provides complete visibility into log data and allows for more granular monitoring. At the same time, the setup ensures that legal requirements such as MaRisk, BAIT, and DORA are reliably met. This puts the bank in an ideal position to secure its continued growth and offer its customers a secure digital platform on a long-term basis.
