Case Study: International Bank achieves secure global WAN access with Thales High Speed Encryptors

International Bank secures 30+ branches with Thales e-Security at 10 Gbps

An international bank needed to upgrade its global WAN encryption to securely handle real-time data access across its 30+ branches on three continents. Its existing Layer 2 solution could not handle the data volume, and a tested Layer 3 IPSec alternative was too costly and complex, introducing high latency. The bank chose Thales e-Security's High Speed Multilink Encryptors to address these challenges.

Thales implemented its High Speed Encryption solution, specifically the CN Series Encryptors, which provided high-performance, low-latency security. The results included wire-speed encryption up to 10 Gbps, latency under 7.5 microseconds per appliance, and a scalable architecture that allowed the bank to pay for only the bandwidth used. This solution enabled the bank to maintain compliance, ensure client privacy, and gain secure, real-time access to sensitive data across its global network.
