Drop the legacy software, follow the money, & thwart cyberattacks.

Financial institutions are the primary targets of cybercriminals because that’s where the money is. According to a Boston Consulting group cybersecurity report, banking and financial services organizations are 300 times more likely to be at risk of a cyberattack, including malware, man-in-the-middle and DDoS attacks, than other sectors. These attacks can come from a wide variety of people, including insiders, outsiders, hacktivists, or even nation-states.

With more dependency on a wide array of on-premise and third-party cloud business applications, and a larger number of remote or hybrid workers, financial firms are now an even bigger target for cybercriminals looking for a big payday. Additionally, new technologies and digital transformation, including online banking, apps, and automation, are unmatched in user convenience, but they also bring numerous new vulnerabilities to the financial services industry, effectively expanding your attack surface. This is a big problem if you’re working with an outdated legacy VPN.

OpenVPN helps mitigate these threats by allowing you to keep your applications private, making it harder for cybercriminals to intercept communications, launch targeted attacks, or exploit vulnerabilities in the network infrastructure, and allowing authorized users to access them securely.

OpenVPN: Closing the door on cyberattacks

Enforce tenets of ZTNA

With OpenVPN’s self-hosted Access Server and cloud-delivered CloudConnexa, financial service companies can enforce the tenets of zero trust network access (ZTNA), including the principle of least privilege access. With network segmentation, if bad actors gain access to one portion of the network, they won’t gain unfettered access to all resources and information.

Embrace digital transformation

With CloudConnexa you can quickly and cost-effectively provide secure remote access to applications — on-premise, cloud, and SaaS — for your distributed workforce using a secure, virtualized, and reliable modern network. That means you can embrace digital transformation without being bogged down by legacy technology and without risking a breach.

Easily manage and scale as you grow

Because the CloudConnexa solution is flexible and dynamic, you can easily add, remove, and manage users, devices, and applications as an integral part of your digital transformation initiatives. You’ll only pay for concurrent connections, meaning you can save and scale as your business grows.
