Interstate Bank Repels More Than 167,000 Cyberattacks in One Month
Interstate Bank has built comprehensive cybersecurity protection for cross-border payments using solutions from Solar Group.
In 2023, the bank simultaneously deployed three solutions: the Solar Dozor data protection system, the Solar WAF web application security service and the Security Awareness platform for improving employees' cybersecurity skills. Today, they protect the bank's infrastructure and its representative offices in Armenia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
In February 2026, amid a surge in attacks on the financial sector, Solar WAF detected and repelled more than 167,000 cyberattacks targeting the bank's web resources, four times the average monthly level recorded in 2025–2026. From 2024 through the first half of 2026, the system processed more than 780,000 information security events, with their number continuing to grow year over year.
In addition to technical security measures, bank employees regularly undergo cybersecurity training and phishing simulations, helping reduce risks associated with human error.
