Add ** note, no more than 140 words (optional) With the gradual expansion of Internet finance, the data traffic generated by new business forms has had an impact on the traditional device-centric financial network, and the rigid and closed financial network has obviously been unable to adapt to the diversified development of Internet finance and the requirements of the new situation. Therefore, there is an urgent need for digital transformation in the financial industry, which is guided by business needs, takes into account cost and customer experience, and builds a more flexible, agile, and secure network architecture. In the context of the continuous digital transformation of the financial industry, SD-WAN has become a powerful tool for the financial industry to build an innovative network architecture. Domestic banks, insurance companies, ** and other financial institutions have begun to actively promote SD-WAN upgrade plans for backbone networks. It is led by the Computing Network Integration Industry and Standards Promotion Committee of China Communications Standards Association《sd-wan 2.0. Application development in the financial industry***Point out 1: SD-WAN 20 business and demand-oriented,It integrates a variety of innovative ICT technologies (SDN NFV, Zero Trust, IPv6+, etc.)., which hasFlexible cloud migration, on-demand interconnection, intelligent traffic steering, and intelligent O&Mand other advantages, to be able toEffectively solve the problems faced by the financial industry such as closed traditional network architecture, large number of branches, strict security requirements, and difficult operation and maintenance guaranteesIt makes the financial network architecture more resilient and intelligent O&M, realizes the integration of network and security, promotes the servitization of network applications, and greatly improves the customer experience, O&M cost and efficiency of diversified financial services.
Under the strict supervision of financial security, the SD-WAN + SASE integration solution helps financial enterprises build a three-dimensional network security protection system

SD-WAN scheme is adoptedOnly one or more CPE devices need to be deployed at the headquarters (data center) and each branch nodeand network transformation,Deploy VCPE on the SaaS side of the public cloud with the help of the operator's SD-WAN backbone networkIt can quickly realize the secure transmission of multi-branch and ** cloud data. SASE, on the other hand, integrates multiple security defense strategies based on entity identityIt supports zero-trust secure access for different mobile office scenarios and different clientsto ensure the data and application security of financial institutions in an all-round way. 
HKT was one of the first companies to pass SD-WAN Ready 20 SASE solution authoritative test
In 2022, HKT's domestic subsidiary, Beijing Paper Communication, successfully passed the "SD-WAN Ready 2." initiative initiated by the Computing Network Convergence Industry and Standards Promotion Committee (CCSA TC621) of the China Communications Standards Association0 SASE solution authoritative testHKT's SD-WAN solution integrates SD-WAN technology into a cloud-native environment, integrating SD-WAN network convergence security and defense capabilities into a cloud-native environment, fundamentally ensuring the security automation, digitalization, borderlessness and resilience of enterprise end-to-end communications. With HKT's extensive SD-WAN backbone network, financial companies can quickly respond to market developments and provide users with innovative financial services that are closer to their needs.
