THE CHALLENGES
Challenges that expose financial institutions
Banking networks are among the most targeted in the world — and regulatory penalties for breaches make inadequate security existentially expensive.
Regulatory Non-Compliance Risk
PCI-DSS violations result in fines from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, mandatory forensic audits, and potential loss of card processing privileges. Non-compliant networks are an existential risk for financial institutions.
Transaction Network Downtime
Every minute of ATM and teller terminal downtime costs thousands in lost transactions and erodes customer trust. Banking networks require multiple redundancy layers that activate in under 30 seconds.
Vault and Restricted Area Security
Teller areas, vault rooms, and server rooms require the highest level of physical security monitoring — AI cameras with 24/7 recording, access control with mandatory dual authentication, and tamper detection.
Branch Network Inconsistency
Banks with multiple branches often have inconsistent network configurations that create uneven security postures. A weak branch network is a pivot point for attackers targeting the core banking system.
THE SOLUTIONS
One platform. Zero transaction compromise.
UNIFI.DO deploys PCI-DSS compliant network infrastructure designed specifically for banking environments — from headquarters to remote branches.
PCI-DSS Transaction Network Isolation
ATM, POS, and teller terminal traffic is isolated on completely separate VLANs from staff and guest networks. ACL rules restrict transaction devices to communicate only with authorized payment processors — compliant by architecture.
Multi-Layer Branch Security
UniFi's Intrusion Detection and Prevention System (IDS/IPS) monitors all branch network traffic for attack signatures. Combined with DNS filtering and deep packet inspection, threats are identified and blocked before reaching any financial system.
Zero-Downtime Redundant Connectivity
Each branch runs dual WAN connections from separated ISPs with automatic failover in under 30 seconds. Transaction systems never lose connectivity — even during ISP outages, maintenance windows, or natural disasters.
Vault & Teller Area AI Surveillance
UniFi Protect cameras with 4K resolution cover teller windows, vault areas, ATM alcoves, and parking. AI person detection and dwell-time alerting identify suspicious behavior before incidents occur.
Dual-Control Vault Access
UniFi Access enforces dual-person integrity (DPI) for vault access — two authorized staff must authenticate within 60 seconds of each other for the door to open. Every access event is time-stamped and linked to camera footage.
Multi-Branch Unified Management
All branch networks are visible and manageable from a single UNIFI.DO-managed cloud dashboard. Security policy changes push to all branches simultaneously. Anomalies in any branch trigger alerts to the central security team.
THE BUSINESS CASE
Infrastructure that protects every transaction.
PCI-DSS Audits That Pass Automatically
UNIFI.DO banking networks are architectured to meet PCI-DSS requirements from day one. Our clients consistently pass quarterly PCI scans without remediation — saving $20,000-60,000 per year in emergency compliance remediation costs.
Transaction Continuity During Outages
Zero reported transaction failures due to network outages for UNIFI.DO banking clients. Dual-ISP with LTE failover ensures ATMs and teller terminals continue processing payments regardless of ISP reliability.
Full Branch Visibility From Headquarters
The CISO and IT security team see every branch network in real time. UNIFI.DO's managed service adds 24/7 NOC monitoring — meaning security incidents are detected and escalated even during nights and weekends.
USE CASES
Solutions for every financial operation
Commercial Bank Branches
Multi-branch commercial banks require uniform security posture across all locations, with transaction network isolation at each branch and centralized visibility from headquarters. UNIFI.DO manages the complete network lifecycle.
ATM Networks
ATM networks require extremely low-latency, highly reliable connectivity with encrypted tunnels to card processors. LTE primary connections with wired backup ensure ATMs have the highest uptime in your network.
Credit Unions & Cooperative Banks
Smaller financial institutions with lower IT budgets benefit most from UNIFI.DO's managed service model — enterprise-grade security and compliance at a predictable monthly cost without a full-time network engineer.
Insurance Companies
Insurance companies handle sensitive personal and financial data requiring VLAN segmentation, encrypted internal communications, and comprehensive audit logging for regulatory compliance.

Our PCI-DSS audit used to cost us three months of stress and $40,000 in emergency remediation. Since UNIFI.DO redesigned our branch networks, we passed our last two audits in the first submission with zero findings. That's ROI you can actually calculate.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
PCI-DSS compliance for branches requires network segmentation separating the cardholder data environment (CDE) from all other networks, strong encryption for data in transit, access controls, audit logging, and intrusion detection. UniFi provides hardware VLAN segmentation (SAQ D requirement), AES-256 encryption, access logs with video correlation, and IDS/IPS — all in a single managed platform. UNIFI.DO provides documentation in PCI-DSS evidence format.
Yes — this is increasingly common. Modern ATMs with LTE primary connections eliminate the need for expensive MPLS or dedicated leased lines to each ATM location. UniFi gateways support LTE modems as primary or failover connections. Encrypted IPSec tunnels from each ATM to the card processor remain stable over LTE connections.
For banking clients, we configure UniFi gateways with three connectivity options: primary fiber/cable ISP, LTE backup, and optionally a satellite failover for extreme scenarios. In practice, the probability of all three failing simultaneously is less than 0.001%. For ultra-critical branches, we also enable offline transaction queuing where the ATM buffers transactions locally until connectivity is restored.
UniFi Access supports multi-reader authentication where a door requires two separate authentications within a configured time window (typically 60 seconds). Both authentications are logged separately with timestamps and video snapshots. The door physically will not open if only one person authenticates — regardless of seniority or administrative override attempts.
Yes — UNIFI.DO's managed security service provides 24/7 monitoring of all branch networks from a centralized NOC. We receive real-time alerts for policy violations, anomalous traffic patterns, authentication failures, and physical security events. Incident response begins within 15 minutes of alert for banking clients, with escalation procedures documented and agreed in your service agreement.
