About Jiyan 

Wuhan Jiyi Network Technology Co., Ltd. (abbreviation: Jiyan) is mainly engaged in product development, sales and various security-related customized development services in the field of Internet interactive security. The company currently has 120 employees. As of July 2018, a total of more than 260,000 companies have used the interactive security services provided by Jiexi, with monthly coverage of more than 300 million users and more than 800 million SaaS verification requests per day, of which more than 300 paid enterprise users.

Business needs and challenges
 

Jiyan is an enterprise specializing in providing interactive security services. Its products have been integrated into many Internet online services and applications, providing users with many services including behavior verification, identity verification, and deep knowledge.

From the team’s point of view, a verification process is required behind any Button involved in the user’s use of the service on the Internet. In fact, behavior verification solves the security problems faced by all Internet interaction scenarios. Whether it is for service providers or users, adopting a secure verification method can not only prevent illegal or malicious operations, but also ensure that the user’s account is not attacked by machines or malicious programs, and greatly protect the security of enterprises and users’ network assets.

In the process of continually optimizing the products and services of Extreme Test, the Extreme Test team is faced with several challenges that need to be overcome:
The first is how to deal with attack threats. The security verification service is inevitably attacked by hackers and malicious users from around the world. After calculation, the average number of malicious attacks per day accounts for 50% of daily verification traffic, that is, every 3 verification requests Once is a malicious attack, so companies must have sufficient defenses against malicious attacks.

At the same time, Jiyan also faces the threat of global distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS). If the system is stopped due to DDoS, it will degrade the level of security services provided by enterprise customers using Jiyan products, making it more It is vulnerable to malicious attacks or even business interruption.

Secondly, Jiyan, as a global interactive security service provider, must meet the stringent requirements of security compliance in different countries, regions and industries. “Our verification business has experienced rapid development in the domestic market. As foreign companies enter China to conduct business and Chinese companies’ business goes overseas, Jiyan has become more familiar with more domestic and foreign corporate customers, and the regions we serve are more Extensive, at present, globalization has become one of our strategies. “Wang Huilong, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Jiyan said,” In the interactive verification service, our deep learning platform will collect some characteristic data of behaviors It is determined whether it is a human operation or an automated operation of a robot. We attach great importance to the protection of customer privacy, so the data collected during this process must be properly processed and protected.

With the official entry into force of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in May 2018, digital service providers around the world will face more stringent compliance audits. Customers can provide more secure services in a trusted manner.
