The Threat Profile Has Changed
Modern attacks against financial infrastructure are no longer simple volumetric floods. They combine L3/L4 network-layer saturation with precision L7 application-layer probing — simultaneously targeting online banking portals, trading APIs, payment processing endpoints, and customer authentication flows. Defending one layer leaves the others exposed. WEDOS Protection was built to close that seam.
What WEDOS Protection Delivers
Full-Stack Mitigation — L3 Through L7, Unified
A single platform covering volumetric floods and sophisticated application-layer attacks. SYN, UDP, and ICMP floods are absorbed at the anycast edge before they reach your network. HTTP floods, Slowloris, and credential stuffing campaigns are handled by an AI-driven WAF — without any gap between the two protection layers.
JA4 TLS Fingerprinting for Financial Attack Patterns
WEDOS Protection identifies malicious client profiles at the TLS handshake level — before a single HTTP request is processed. Threat intelligence gathered across the platform is applied globally, meaning attack signatures observed against one financial institution protect all others in real time.
API & Authentication Endpoint Protection
Per-endpoint and per-API rule configuration gives you tighter controls exactly where it matters — login portals, transaction APIs, account verification flows — without adding friction for legitimate customers. High-value targets get high-value protection; normal traffic flows unimpeded.
Zero-Latency Scrubbing for Trading and Payment Environments
Global anycast routing directs traffic to the nearest WEDOS scrubbing node, keeping round-trip times minimal. For trading platforms and payment processors where milliseconds matter, the protection layer is invisible to legitimate traffic in both availability and timing characteristics.
DORA Compliance
DORA Compliance — Built Into the Architecture
The Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) has been in full effect since January 2025. Financial entities across the EU — banks, payment institutions, investment firms, insurance companies — are now legally required to demonstrate ICT risk management, incident detection, and resilience testing to their national supervisory authority.
WEDOS Protection supports DORA compliance across several key obligations:
ICT risk management
Continuous monitoring, automated threat detection, and real-time traffic analysis provide the live risk visibility DORA requires from designated ICT service providers.
Incident detection and reporting
Audit-grade event logging with full forensic context, retained within EU jurisdiction. Structured log export supports major incident reporting to competent authorities within DORA timelines.
Third-party ICT risk
WEDOS operates no third-party cloud infrastructure — every component is owned and operated in-house. This eliminates the concentration risk DORA regulators are most focused on with hyperscaler dependencies.
Resilience testing
WEDOS security engineers support Threat-Led Penetration Testing (TLPT) framework requirements and can provide technical documentation for your DORA resilience testing programme.
EU Jurisdiction. No Exceptions.
-
For financial institutions subject to EU prudential supervisionRouting security-sensitive traffic through a platform subject to foreign law is untenable under DORA. Supervisory bodies have made clear that legal jurisdiction of ICT providers is part of the third-party risk assessment.
-
Operated, and legally domiciled, entirely within the EUNo component of WEDOS Protection is accessible under foreign legal instruments. No data leaves the European Union. There is no parent company, cloud tenant, or upstream provider outside EU jurisdiction.
-
Full third-party risk assessment documentationContractual DPA and audit support packages available as standard. WEDOS provides the documentation package your compliance team needs to satisfy supervisory requirements without months of back-and-forth.

Why WEDOS
Why Financial Institutions Choose WEDOS
-
No upstream dependency.Every component of WEDOS Protection — scrubbing infrastructure, anycast network, WAF engine, logging platform — is built and operated by WEDOS. There is no hyperscaler behind the curtain and no single point of third-party failure.
-
EU sovereignty, legally documented.This is not a marketing claim — it is a contractual and architectural reality. Your DORA third-party risk assessment will confirm it. WEDOS operates exclusively under EU law, with no exposure to foreign legal instruments or intelligence service access.
-
Operational credibility.WEDOS was not founded to sell a security product. It is the infrastructure operator behind hundreds of thousands of domains across Europe — the protection platform was built because WEDOS needed it first. That operational depth is what you are buying.
