Deep Network Observability for Financial Services

Banking · Capital Markets · Insurance · Payments

Aviz delivers software-defined deep network observability for financial services, from retail bank branches to high-frequency trading floors, insurance core systems, and real-time payment rails. A vendor-neutral, AI-ready solution, with up to 50% TCO reduction and out-of-the-box compliance evidence.

Challenge: The Visibility Problem across Financial Infrastructure

Distributed architecture made financial networks invisible.

Workloads now span hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, private data centers, branch offices, and IT/OT infrastructure. Every new edge is a new blind spot, and every blind spot is a compliance gap, a fraud surface, or an undetected incident. Legacy appliance-based packet brokers can't keep up with the workload. Aviz can.

CLOUD, Hybrid & multi-cloud sprawl

Core banking, payments, and customer-facing apps live across hybrid and multi-cloud. Native flow logs aren't enough to prove security posture or detect east–west fraud.

DATA CENTER, Trading & core fabrics at 100–400G

Capital markets engines and core ledgers run on high-speed fabrics where dropped packets mean missed trades and missed threats. Legacy brokers can't keep up without proprietary silicon.

EDGE, Branches & remote workforce

Every branch, ATM cluster, and remote trader desk is a weak link. Visibility has to extend beyond the data center, without shipping expensive appliances to every location.

IT / OT, Physical & building systems

Badge readers, HVAC, UPS, CCTV, and ATM networks are now part of the attack surface. BFSI teams need the same packet-level evidence across IT and OT that they get for servers.

The Aviz Deep Network Observability (DNO) Architecture

Aviz Deep Network Observability is a software-defined pipeline that converts raw network traffic into structured, compliance-ready intelligence. It ingests TAP/SPAN traffic from every environment, hybrid cloud, data center, remote edge, and OT/IoT, and delivers enriched, tool-ready telemetry to every security and observability stack you already own.

1. Aggregate

Aggregate TAP/SPAN traffic across hybrid and distributed environments, hybrid cloud, data center, telco networks, remote edge, and OT/IoT, into a single logical pipeline.

2. Optimize

Reduce noise and optimize traffic for downstream tools through intelligent filtering, load balancing, and header stripping. Stop paying your observability tools to analyze duplicate, encrypted, or irrelevant bytes.

3. Enrich (Dedup + App-Metadata)

Convert packets into structured, high-fidelity telemetry. Deep Packet Inspection extracts application metadata, TLS versions, cipher suites, HTTP headers, API calls, session state, while deduplication eliminates mirrored traffic noise before it hits your tools.

4. DPU-Native Acceleration

DPU-native acceleration for line-rate packet processing and low-latency performance. Scales from 100G to 400G on commodity x86 with NVIDIA BlueField-3, no proprietary ASICs, no vendor lock-in.

5. Distribute

Intelligently distribute enriched traffic to security and observability tools. Open export formats (JSON, Kafka) feed SIEM, NPM/APM, and optimized packets to NDR/IDS, packet recorders, fraud platforms, and compliance systems, all simultaneously, all filtered to the right consumer.

Compliance, Handled

Turn packets into audit evidence.

Aviz produces the structured artefacts your compliance, risk, and security teams need to prove controls to auditors and regulators, continuously, without agents.

PCI-DSS

Aviz DNO extracts TLS version, cipher suite, certificate expiry, and key-exchange data from every session crossing the network, and streams it to your SIEM as structured metadata. Weak ciphers are flagged the moment they appear, not quarters later in an audit. Directly addresses requirements 2, 4, 6, 10, and 11 of the PCI-DSS 4.0 standard.

DORA

Operational resilience, proved in packets.

The EU Digital Operational Resilience Act requires every financial entity to evidence ICT risk management, incident detection, and third-party oversight. Aviz delivers the network-layer ground truth auditors need, continuous monitoring of critical flows, immutable session metadata for incident forensics, and visibility into every third-party connection that touches your infrastructure.

API Security

OWASP API Top 10, without instrumenting every workload.

Modern banks live on APIs, core-to-core, bank-to-fintech, open-banking. Aviz generates API-aware metadata that surfaces the OWASP API Top 10 risks without requiring agents, sidecars, or application code changes. Shadow-API discovery, credential-stuffing detection, and excessive-data-exposure flagging, all from the network.

BFSI Segments: One pipeline. Every financial workload.

Aviz Deep Network Observability adapts to how each financial segment actually runs: the scale, the regulations, and the specific transactions that matter most.
