STABILITY

As a financial solution that processes transactions amounting to millions of dollars every day, ensuring the stability and reliability of operations was essential.

We also had to create tests that would overcome any instability in order to guarantee customer and partner loyalty.

DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service, is a type of cyber attack that aims to overload the target system with data traffic; the end goal is to make the service inaccessible to legitimate users by causing interruptions.
