Orange Jordan is stepping up its cybersecurity game. Teaming up with NETSCOUT and FutureTEC, the telecom giant is sharpening its focus on protecting businesses, especially banks, from the growing danger of DDoS attacks that threaten to grind operations to a halt.
At a high-level conference this week, executives laid out plans to bring smarter, faster, and more automatic defense systems to the financial sector. Here’s what went down—and why it matters more than ever.
Financial Institutions Find Themselves in the Crosshairs
DDoS attacks are getting nastier and sneakier, and banks are feeling the heat.
At the Orange Jordan event, experts warned that financial services are now top targets because even a few minutes of downtime can ripple out into massive losses—and shattered trust.
Banks aren’t just worried about service interruptions. They also fear reputational damage, regulatory fines, and customer churn. It’s a three-headed monster that’s growing uglier by the day.
The conference made it pretty clear: doing nothing is no longer an option. Cyber resilience isn’t just a tech issue anymore—it’s survival.
Omnis AED: How It Sniffs Out Trouble Before It Hits
One of the stars of the show was NETSCOUT’s Omnis AED. And honestly, it’s not hard to see why it caught everyone’s attention.
Unlike older defense systems that react after an attack starts, Omnis AED plays offense from inside the network.
In simple terms, it acts a bit like an immune system. Constantly scanning, sensing, and kicking threats out before they can spread.
Here’s a quick glance at what Omnis AED brings to the table:
-
Real-time DDoS detection without slowing down traffic
-
Automatic threat mitigation before human intervention is needed
-
Full visibility into traffic patterns, making hidden attacks easier to spot
The focus, Orange Jordan stressed, is on keeping vital services running like clockwork—even when cybercriminals are hammering at the gates.
Building a Fortress: Why Partnerships Are Key
Orange Jordan didn’t just talk tech—they talked teamwork.
Their partnership with NETSCOUT and FutureTEC is part of a bigger, bolder plan to beef up cybersecurity across Jordan.
A company spokesperson summed it up pretty bluntly: no single company can fight cyberthreats alone anymore.
By pooling resources and knowledge, Orange Jordan believes they can stay one step ahead of cyber attackers who are constantly shifting their tactics.
They also pointed out that securing the banking sector isn’t just about protecting money. It’s about securing the economy itself.
Big Talk, Bigger Stakes
It wasn’t just a PR event full of buzzwords—there’s real urgency behind Orange Jordan’s move.
Global DDoS attacks surged by 74% in 2023, according to a report by Cloudflare. Financial institutions saw some of the biggest spikes.
That trend shows no signs of slowing down.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that by 2025, the global annual cost of cybercrime could hit $10.5 trillion. It’s mind-boggling when you stop and think about it.
One executive at the conference put it bluntly: “Imagine running a marathon while someone keeps throwing hurdles in your way. That’s what banks are dealing with daily.”
Small moments of downtime, they warned, could mean millions gone in an instant.
And for customers relying on mobile banking, loan services, and instant transfers? Even seconds feel like a lifetime.
A Bigger Digital Vision
Orange Jordan made it loud and clear that this isn’t a one-off.
They’re betting big on cybersecurity becoming a permanent part of the digital economy’s backbone.
The company tied this initiative into its broader goal of promoting digital innovation across Jordan. They want to position the country not just as a user of tech—but a leader in digital security and services in the region.
It’s an ambitious play. But given the stakes, playing it safe isn’t an option anymore.
Orange Jordan’s strategy is about building digital highways—and making sure no one plants a cyber-landmine along the way.
