Microsegmentation for banking & financial services
Change-controlled NetworkPolicy for the regulators, auditors and incident response teams banks already work with.
Banks running OpenShift and Kubernetes face the hardest combination in the industry: real-time payment workloads, strict segmentation requirements (PCI DSS, BDDK guidance, MASAK obligations), and zero tolerance for unplanned outages. Axera was designed for exactly this environment — change-controlled NetworkPolicy that fits how banks actually approve, deploy and audit network changes.
Industry challenges
Regulatory segmentation requirements
PCI DSS Requirement 1, BDDK guidance and MASAK obligations all require demonstrable network segmentation between zones — and evidence of who changed what, and when.
Zero tolerance for unplanned outages
Production payment systems can't risk a NetworkPolicy push that quietly breaks a settlement flow. Rollback and dry-run are not optional.
Egress to settlement and payment networks
Egress to payment providers, KKB, Takasbank, SWIFT and external partners must be controlled, audited and exception-managed.
Audit-ready evidence on demand
Internal audit, external auditors and regulators arrive with deadlines. Evidence has to exist already — not be reconstructed from raw logs.
How Axera maps
PR-style change-controlled NetworkPolicy
Every policy change goes through diffs, approval gates and ITSM linkage. Same discipline as a firewall change request — adapted to Kubernetes.
Versioned rollback in one click
Every deployment creates a versioned snapshot. If a policy breaks production, roll back and audit the rollback itself.
Egress visibility and policy
East-west and egress flows are observed natively. Sanctioned payment endpoints stay open; everything else is policy-controlled.
Exportable audit trail
Every action — create, edit, approve, deploy, rollback — logged with user, timestamp and full change set. PDF or Excel export for auditor evidence.
