Case Study: Financial Investment Management Firm reduces PCI audit scope and gains resilient AES‑256 IPSec partner connectivity with Cohesive Networks' VNS3

Financial Investment Management Firm - Customer Case Study

The Financial Investment Management Firm needed a dedicated IPSec tunnel from inside an AWS VPC to partner networks using AES 256‑bit encryption, plus redundancy to ensure tunnels stayed up during network connectivity issues. They engaged Cohesive Networks and deployed the VNS3 Cloud VPN to meet these requirements.

Using Cohesive Networks’ VNS3, the customer created two IPSec tunnels to the partner — a primary tunnel for non‑latency‑sensitive HTTP traffic and a secondary tunnel for failover — producing isolated cloud environments that satisfy PCI requirements. Since implementing VNS3, the Financial Investment Management Firm has considerably reduced the scope of PCI audits and adopted Cohesive Networks’ approach to the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
