Dubai, UAE / Stockholm, Sweden – Verisec today confirms that all financial institutions and enterprise customers utilizing the 10XPay service in the United Arab Emirates have maintained business continuity despite hyperscaler outages in the country.
In response to the current geopolitical situation that places infrastructure in the Middle East at risk, Verisec successfully activated its regional failover protocol. This feature seamlessly transitioned cryptographic processing from the UAE region to the other 10XPay regions.
Resilient architecture in action
The transition was executed as a standard operational procedure, leveraging the geo-redundant architecture inherent in the 10XPay Payment Cryptography as a Service (PCaaS) model. Because 10XPay services are designed to complement existing on-premises hardware, customers were able to maintain full transaction processing capabilities without interruption to their end users.
Key highlights of the case:
- Continuous processing: Payment processing and cryptographic operations remained active throughout the regional transition.
- Agile transition: The regional failover procedure allowed for a swift transfer to alternative regional infrastructure, with minimal need for customer changes.
- Maintained security standards: All operations continue to be executed within secure environments, ensuring the integrity of customer keys and data.
Commitment to availability and stability
“Our primary mission at Verisec is to provide an HSM service that remains operational even when a 10XPay region or other infrastructure is challenged,” said Aidan Corcoran, 10XPay Product Owner at Verisec.
“The activation of our regional failover capability for our customers demonstrates why we built 10XPay as a distributed service. Business continuity is not a feature for us; it is the foundation of our commitment to our customers and to the wider payments ecosystem.”
Verisec continues to monitor the situation closely. Events like these reinforce the importance of resilient cryptographic infrastructure as financial institutions prepare for the next phase of authentication and payment security.
