Bankdata Upgrades Network Security with Juniper Networks Remote Access Solution

Juniper Networks announced on February 19 that Bankdata, a leading financial services provider in Denmark, has chosen the Juniper Networks market-leading Secure Access SSL VPN solutions to provide safe yet easy access to key applications and other corporate network resources for Bankdata’s international workforce and customers.

Bankdata needed a cost-effective way to provide its remote workers in India with seamless access to the corporate network in Denmark to optimize productivity and efficiency, without exposing the network to risk from hackers, malware and other threats that could jeopardize service quality and data integrity. The company also wanted to provide secure customer access to financial applications hosted within the corporate network, without the capital and operational expense of creating an extranet to limit third party access to specific applications only.

“To maintain trust and meet strict financial regulatory compliance requirements, we must optimize data security and services reliability for customers and remote employees. Equally, security deployments cannot become operational bottlenecks, so ease of use and performance were important factors in our choice of a remote access solution,” said Claus Piessenberger, head of department, Network Security and Infrastructure at Bankdata. “Juniper’s high-performance network infrastructure solutions have provided Bankdata with greater choice and control over its network options and application delivery for remote users.”
