Case Study: NQM Funding achieves scalable, secure nationwide network access with Check Point Software

As Business Grows Exponentially, NQM Funding Easily Scales Secure Network Access Across the U.S

NQM Funding is a 25-year mortgage lender headquartered in Boca Raton that grew from 20 to 500 employees and expanded into 46 states. Rapid growth exposed limits of their legacy VPN and RDP setup: slow, centralized backhaul through Florida, incompatibility with key SaaS, risk of ransomware spreading from unmanaged laptops, and stranded user data that wasn’t synchronizing to corporate backups.

NQM deployed a cloud-delivered Zero Trust solution (Harmony) with device posture checks, least‑privilege access and FWaaS, chosen for its ease of deployment by a small IT team. The rollout gave remote employees fast, consistent access to the same drives and data, removed internet-facing firewall ports to shrink the attack surface, and enabled rapid, secure onboarding of new branches—improving productivity and delivering the scalability and ransomware protection the company needed.
