Case Study: Leading European financial services firm achieves secure, simplified data integration and compliance with Cleo

A large European financial services firm chooses Cleo for secure and streamlined data integration

European Financial Services Firm, one of the top five European financial institutions managing over a half trillion euros with 30,000+ employees worldwide, faced urgent regulatory and operational risks after an internal audit found unsecured files in the DMZ, open inbound ports, and a fragmented, hard-to-maintain file-transfer environment. To secure thousands of daily transactions with telecoms, insurers, card companies and other partners and restore compliance, the firm selected Cleo and its information integration solution.

Cleo implemented a centralized integration layer that validates partner traffic in the DMZ without requiring open inbound ports, removing stored unsecured files and consolidating multiple servers into a single instance. The Cleo solution simplified the architecture, reduced management overhead and capital expense, eliminated exposure of the internal network, and enabled the firm to achieve compliance and confidently support future growth.
