Case Study: SREI (India infrastructure finance NBFC) achieves secure, compliant cloud migration and 50% lower TCO with Check Point Software's CloudGuard

SREI Takes to the Cloud With Secure Confidence

SREI Infrastructure Ltd, a Kolkata‑headquartered NBFC founded in 1989 that finances large infrastructure projects across India, moved its operations to AWS while meeting stringent Reserve Bank of India data‑localization and security requirements. The cloud migration exposed new risks beyond SREI’s legacy on‑prem perimeter model, creating an urgent need to protect customer and internal data while supporting flexible, scalable deployments.

SREI implemented Check Point CloudGuard (Posture Management and Network Security) along with R80, SmartMove and SmartEvent, integrated with third‑party threat intelligence and AWS Transit Gateway to simplify networking. The solution delivered consolidated visibility, faster incident response, compliance snapshots, and easy third‑party integration (cut from one day to 30 minutes), saved up to three person‑years of effort and reduced TCO by about 50% while preserving agility.
