Latency that is written into the contract
Dedicated wavelengths between sites where the round-trip figure is contractual: trading links, market data, DR replication - quoted from the measured fibre and written into the order. DWDM wavelengths →
Financial platforms are attacked for extortion, for cover during other intrusions, and sometimes simply because a competitor's promotion is running. What makes the sector different is not the attack - it is that being down is a reportable event, and the report has to say what happened at packet level.
A short, large burst followed by a demand. The demonstration is real and sized to prove capability, which is why the first hour matters more than the average.
Trading, payment authorisation and card processing all have timing budgets. Mitigation that reroutes traffic through a scrubbing centre changes the path, and that change is itself an incident.
Under DORA and NIS2 an availability incident affecting a financial entity is reportable, with detail. 'Our provider mitigated an attack' is not a report.
Filtering is permanently in the path. There is no diversion, no BGP convergence and no latency step when an attack begins - the timing profile you validated is the one you keep.
Points of presence, optical layer, filtering software and operations are inside the European Union, which answers the residency and jurisdiction questions before they are asked.
Which rule fired, what the traffic consisted of, when it started and stopped, and captures you can inspect yourself. Designed for what an incident report requires rather than for a marketing screenshot.
ISO 9001, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS. Support is staffed by engineers 24/7 with no AI in the escalation path - during a reportable incident you are not explaining yourself to a model.
The mitigation is one layer. The same network sells the layers around it - and a stack bought from one operator has nobody in it to blame somebody else.
