As a digital base, security needs are still growing after the epidemic. According to statistics, domestic GDP growth in the first half of 2023 was 5.4%, of which the network security market grew by 10%. On the other hand, AIGC and large models, which have become popular this year, are also being used by attackers to evolve new fraud and attack methods.
At Amazon Cloud Technology re:Inforce 2023 China, Zhao Haixu, Information Security Director of Leading Group, shared that AI and large models bring new security threats. For example, attackers use AI models to enhance the automation level of attack tools and collect public information of corporate employees. and data, analyze preferences and generate more "authentic" and disguised phishing emails. In addition, deep fake technology is mature, and open source deep fake tools are used to fake faces and voices, bypass verification, and conduct fraud.
In the previous article, we introduced the important technical content of this year’s Amazon Cloud Technology re:Inforce 2023 China Conference . After the meeting, Lingchuang Group accepted an interview with CSDN and shared the joint exploration and practice of both parties in response to these new threats.
Leading Group: Choose Amazon Cloud Technology for the lowest basic network security
Headquartered in Singapore, Leading Group has three major businesses, ADVANCE.AI, Atome Financial, and Ginee, providing digital commerce and digital financial services to users in Southeast Asia and around the world. The group completed a Series D financing of over US$400 million in September 2021, and In April 2023, more than US$80 million in financing will be completed.
Security is the top priority in finance. Therefore, the first product of the Leading Group, a financial product, is deployed on Amazon Cloud Technology. In addition to using the lowest basic network security provided by Amazon Cloud Technology, the product can also directly inherit the compliance of Amazon Cloud Technology's high-standard cloud infrastructure to meet the requirements of overseas financial supervision. In addition, Leading Group has cooperated with Amazon Cloud Technology since its establishment in 2016. Business uncertainties often faced by companies in the start-up stage require elastically scalable infrastructure, and Amazon Cloud Technology has also effectively reduced IT costs.
In addition to the underlying basic network security capabilities, many business modules of ADVANCE.AI and Atome Financial of Leading Group are deployed on Amazon Cloud Technology. Among them, ADVANCE.AI's basic service components and some machine learning businesses are deployed on Amazon Cloud Technology. Atome Financial's core business systems in Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong and other countries are also deployed on Amazon Cloud Technology. As the globalization of Lingchuang Group's business continues to advance and develop, it also relies on Amazon Cloud Technology's global infrastructure to deploy business in Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and other regions to serve global users and Chinese overseas users.
In addition, from the perspective of partners, ADVANCE.AI, as a partner of Amazon Cloud Technology, provides SAAS solutions for eKYC identity verification and risk control for overseas enterprises on Amazon Cloud Technology and overseas customers in finance, e-commerce, social networking and other industries , and With the help of Amazon Cloud Technology to expand business and channel resources, he has participated in Amazon Cloud Technology’s overseas conferences and China summits many times.
What benefits does Lingchuang Group gain from cooperating with Amazon Cloud Technology?
The benefits of cooperation with the world's top cloud vendors are actually multifaceted. Specifically, for Lingchuang Group:
Global coverage supports rapid business expansion. Based on Amazon Cloud Technology's global cloud infrastructure, Leading Group's Atome Financial has shortened the basic resource provisioning time to one week in the process of expanding to Southeast Asian countries and regions, thus enabling Leading Group's business to reach more quickly. Other countries.
Business disaster recovery strategies achieve high cost-effectiveness. Atome Financial uses Amazon EKS at the front end to flexibly expand and shrink capacity and quickly launch services; at the bottom, it uses Amazon MSK Serverless, Amazon OpenSearch Service and other Serverless products to automatically provision and manage the required resources, and uses pay-as-you-go to greatly save disaster recovery. cost. In just 2 months , Leading Group successfully built a cross-regional business disaster recovery system on the Amazon cloud technology platform, greatly enhancing its business stability and risk resistance.
Elastic operation and maintenance handles large-scale instantaneous traffic. In the face of instantaneous traffic surges, large traffic, and high concurrency scenarios, Amazon Cloud Technology's highly available, scalable, and secure Amazon EKS provides Leading with an elastic operation and maintenance solution. At the same time, Lingchuang uses Amazon EC2 Spot instances to achieve rapid and low-cost resource expansion. Based on this, Lingchuang successfully dealt with instantaneous peak traffic up to 20 times the usual traffic, meeting Atome Financial's business needs during e-commerce promotions without pre-provisioning a large amount of resources.
The intelligent lake warehouse architecture strengthens risk control analysis. In terms of data analysis, Amazon Cloud Technology’s intelligent lake warehouse architecture brings efficient and flexible big data processing and analysis solutions to Leading. In terms of data storage, Leadtron selects Amazon S3 as the core data storage and uses intelligent tiering strategies to manage data, effectively ensuring data security and reducing storage costs. In addition, Leading uses the industry-leading cloud big data platform Amazon EMR to analyze massive user data, cope with various types and complexity of data processing tasks, and improve data processing efficiency. For real-time data processing, Leadtron chose to use fully managed Amazon MSK to easily build and run Apache Kafka to process streaming data to achieve timely processing of real-time transaction payment data.
Security compliance meets the needs of the financial industry. Amazon Cloud Technology supports many security standards across its global business and has obtained multiple compliance certifications, which has greatly reduced the security compliance costs of leading groups in dealing with the supervision of different countries in the process of globalization. Lingchuang uses a series of Amazon cloud technology security tools and services such as Amazon VPC and Amazon Certificate Manager to achieve data protection, security detection and incident response, greatly shortening the business compliance process, improving customer recognition and trust, and providing Lingchuang with Chuang has laid a solid foundation for providing safe and compliant financial services on a global scale.
Artificial intelligence improves the response speed of risk control models. In OCR scenarios in the field of risk control, Lingchuang uses AI/ML technology for face recognition and license detection. Leading uses the machine learning engine Amazon SageMaker to quickly verify risk control AI models in specific environments and flexibly adjust resources as needed, greatly improving its internal testing efficiency and model iteration speed. In addition, Leadtron is also actively trying to use the Amazon Bedrock Preview preview version for model optimization, fully embracing the potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve service efficiency and decision-making accuracy.
