Kang Hsuan partnered with SIRAYA to build a secure, high-performance digital learning platform capable of supporting large-scale online education. The solution improved platform stability, strengthened security, and ensured uninterrupted service during peak enrollment and learning periods.
Customer Overview
Founded in 1984, Kang Hsuan Educational Publishing Group is one of Taiwan’s leading education providers, offering textbooks, digital learning platforms, educational software, and online teaching services. As digital learning continued to expand, the company accelerated its cloud transformation, making online education a core part of its long-term strategy.
With millions of learning resources delivered online and large numbers of students and educators accessing the platform simultaneously, ensuring consistent performance, security, and service availability became critical to maintaining a reliable digital learning experience.
業務挑戰
Maintaining Platform Stability During Peak Traffic
Enrollment periods, curriculum updates, and large-scale educational campaigns generated sudden spikes in concurrent traffic across multiple digital platforms. Without sufficient elasticity, these traffic surges increased the risk of performance degradation, slow response times, and service interruptions during mission-critical periods.
Protecting Valuable Educational Content
Kang Hsuan’s websites and learning platforms were frequently targeted by automated bots scraping educational materials and digital content. The absence of advanced bot protection not only increased infrastructure costs but also exposed valuable learning resources to unauthorized access and potential data misuse.
Limited 24×7 Operational Resources
The internal technology team focused primarily on educational product development rather than around-the-clock infrastructure operations. Without continuous monitoring and rapid incident response capabilities, unexpected service disruptions and security events posed ongoing operational risks.
Minimizing Migration Risks
Because the platform supported schools, teachers, and students across Taiwan, even minor service interruptions during migration could significantly impact teaching activities and user trust. Any infrastructure transition needed to be completed without affecting ongoing educational services, particularly during enrollment and semester launch periods.
解決方案
To address Kang Hsuan’s performance, security, and operational challenges, SIRAYA delivered an integrated cloud infrastructure solution combining dynamic acceleration, enterprise-grade security, and 24×7 managed operations. The deployment was designed to improve platform resilience, protect digital learning resources, and ensure uninterrupted service during periods of peak demand.
Zero-Downtime Migration for Mission-Critical Services
Because the platform supports daily teaching and administrative activities across numerous schools, migration could not disrupt existing users or ongoing educational operations.
Before deployment, SIRAYA conducted a comprehensive proof of concept (POC), validating system performance under complex business workflows and peak traffic conditions. Within two months, the migration of core websites and backend services was completed successfully ahead of major enrollment and curriculum update periods, delivering improved performance with zero service interruption while strengthening the platform’s overall security posture.
Intelligent WAAP Protection Against Automated Threats
To protect valuable educational content from automated abuse, SIRAYA deployed CDNetworks’ Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solution, integrating DDoS protection, Web Application Firewall (WAF), Bot Management, and API Security into a unified security architecture.
Powered by AI-driven threat detection and behavioral analysis, the platform automatically identifies and blocks malicious requests before they impact production services. In addition, SIRAYA customized protection policies and whitelisting rules around Kang Hsuan’s academic calendar, ensuring strong security without disrupting legitimate learning activities.
Accelerating Digital Learning Experiences
To improve content delivery performance, SIRAYA implemented a global CDN architecture with intelligent caching and customized origin optimization.
Educational content is distributed across edge locations in Taiwan and worldwide, allowing students and teachers to access learning resources from the nearest available node. Combined with more than 200 Tbps of global network capacity, the platform can efficiently absorb enrollment spikes and semester-opening traffic while delivering faster page loads, lower latency, and a more consistent learning experience.
24×7 Managed Operations and Security Monitoring
Recognizing that Kang Hsuan’s internal engineering resources were focused on product development rather than infrastructure operations, SIRAYA provided continuous monitoring and managed security services.
The service includes real-time traffic monitoring, threat detection, security policy optimization, incident response, and monthly security reporting. When abnormal events occur, SIRAYA’s engineering team responds immediately to mitigate attacks, adjust protection policies, and restore normal operations, enabling Kang Hsuan to strengthen its security posture without expanding internal operational resources.
Business Outcomes
With SIRAYA’s integrated cloud and security solution, Kang Hsuan significantly strengthened the stability, performance, and security of its digital learning platform—delivering a more reliable experience for schools, teachers, and students while reducing operational complexity.
