Icon-Red_Hat-Media_and_documents-Quotemark_Open-B-Red-RGB Lotte Card was keen to support the government’s MyData program, due to the immense benefits it provided to our end users. However, our existing applications and systems needed an uplift to optimize its performance and ensure compliance with new security regulations. Red Hat’s open source solutions provided the right fit to form the new base of our systems and offered us capabilities to address our customers’ needs for the safety and protection of their financial data. This has allowed us to actively participate in the program and deliver an improved user experience to our customers.
