Case Study: Kumbakonam Mutual Benefit Fund Ltd achieves secure branch connectivity with Zyxel

Indian Mutual Fund Securely Connects Branches with ZyXEL Solution

Kumbakonam Mutual Benefit Fund Ltd, a non-banking financial company operating over 110 branches, faced challenges in securely connecting its locations. They needed a solution to provide redundancy, ensure higher uptime, encrypt data for security, and allow for centralized monitoring and backup, all while maintaining a low total cost of ownership. To meet these needs, they worked with vendor Zyxel to implement a solution using the ZyXEL USG300 and USG20 Unified Security Gateways.

Zyxel's solution established encrypted IPSec VPN tunnels from the branch offices to the headquarters, with 3G USB dongles providing backup connectivity in case of a DSL failure. This provided enhanced security, redundancy, and centralized bandwidth control. The implementation was completed on time, and the fund achieved its goals of a secure, reliable network with low maintenance efforts and cost, receiving a complete solution at a very affordable price.
