Kookmin Bank of Korea (KB Star) has opened its next-generation banking recovery center designed to fight against unexpected obstacles such as DDoS attacks in order to provide uninterrupted banking services and deal with the rapid rise of banking transactions.
The next generation banking recovery center is being installed at its main center, Yeomchang Computer Laboratory, in Seoul. It is also installing a branch laboratory in Youido and a KT Mok-dong Laboratory. KB Star completed its intranet based on the Triple-Active system, a type of operating system for high-end technology which provides diverging processes between computers in a main laboratory and other laboratories by client request. It is now possible to deal with all sorts of emergency situations even if one or two laboratories are accidentally shut down. Additionally, it is possible to provide smooth services twice as fast with its larger capabilities. The triple-active system has mainly been installed for the purpose of protecting more than a hundred twenty million Korean customers’ property specifically from cyber terrors like DDoS attacks.
Meanwhile, KB is also in the middle of the development of anti-virus solutions in order for customers to use its Internet banking services without fear. KB developed the world's first deposit protection guard solution which allows customers to input account numbers using a mouse to prevent counterfeiting in 2006. It also created the first national Internet banking mobile approval service system which only electronically transmits money into a new bank account after receiving approval from individual customers by phone or wireless connection.
Additionally, KB is running a precision transaction log analysis system which looks at the transactions of all Internet banking for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in order to protect customers from cyber terror such as hacking and malware attacks.
