Case Study: Leading Financial Firm achieves reliable, scalable secure remote access with Perimeter 81

Financial Firm Exchanges VPN for Scalable Zero Trust Access

Leading Financial Firm, a US-based provider of fund administration and outsourced finance and accounting services, struggled with an outdated Cisco AnyConnect VPN that caused dropped connections, firewall conflicts, and licensing headaches as staff churned and remote work increased. The organization selected Perimeter 81 to replace the legacy VPN and address needs for scalability, single sign-on, and Zero Trust access.

Perimeter 81 deployed its secure remote access solution with SSO and Zero Trust controls in about two to three hours, enabling steady remote connections, per-user license scaling, and centralized monitoring. Perimeter 81’s implementation eliminated frequent connection drops and firewall issues, increased employee productivity, and delivered measurable time savings for IT — reported as over five hours of manual work saved per month (and a 500% reduction in monthly manual hours), while improving overall security confidence.
