Case Study: WeTransfer achieves seamless cloud VPN security and global access with NordLayer

How WeTransfer upgraded existing VPN to a cloud-native solution for enhanced security application and experience

WeTransfer, the Amsterdam-based file-sharing and advertising platform, needed a more reliable VPN setup to support engineering access to development APIs, validate ad displays across 130+ countries, and adapt to an upcoming move from an on-site HQ. The company was looking for a cloud-based alternative to its physically hosted VPN, with strong security, global reach, and easier maintenance.

NordLayer provided the cloud-native VPN solution WeTransfer needed, including global gateways, static IP addresses, and Okta integration for stronger access control and automation. With NordLayer, WeTransfer simplified onboarding and offboarding, reduced manual VPN maintenance for its lean IT team, and improved developer experience with faster feedback loops for engineers outside the Netherlands.
