NordLayer

I used NordLayer to provide secure and private access to the internet for our related work and remote colleagues. I used NordLayer to address several business problems. For example, NordLayer provides our colleagues with a way to secure access to our resources, applications, and data from a remote location or anywhere.

• Improved sercurity
• Incresed productivity
• Performance impact

NordLayer is used as a secure VPN connection to use the office infrastructure to carry out day to day tasks. It offers a seamless secured connection and very easy to install. It has also reduced our Opex Cost using NordLayer

• Reduced cost by more than 50%
• Easy interface for users to login

My organization is a 100% work from home force with quite a bit of travel. We had experienced serious phishing and spoofing due to the public facing nature of our business. Deploying NordLayer within our workforce has provided an extra layer of security especially when traveling and using public or unsecured networks. The tool was easy to configure and deploy with very few issues with our remote users. the few issues we had with Nord having difficulties with some of our exiting platforms were address quickly and effectively by our support team. For example we use RingDNA, some users were experiencing dropped calls while connected to our dedicated gateway, but adjustments by the Nord support staff corrected the issues within 1 day.

• Dedicated Gateways
• Threat Block
• Multiple protocols

• We will measure our ROI after the tool has been deployed for 6-12 months. we are new users but happy so far

We have been using NordLayer VPN for a long time. When our staffs are working from the office abroad, home, public places such as airports or coffee shops, it acts as a reliable shield, encrypting our connections and ensuring a secure passage for our data. It's not just a tool; it's the linchpin of our cybersecurity strategy, seamlessly addressing the evolving landscape of cyber threats and allowing us to navigate the digital realm with confidence.

• Auto connect
• Threat Block
• AES 256-bit encryption

• Productivity through seamless remote work capabilities, and strengthened client trust due to robust data protection measures.
• The negative impact is minimal compared to the invaluable security it provides.
• Ensuring business continuity, and mitigating the potential costs of falling victim to cyber threats

our org uses NordLayer as our VPN provider, enforcing VPN usage to access company files and shared drives. The scope is entire org with a few exceptions, and it runs well and relatively problem free. Recently the app updates have not required elevation so our users have been able to update their own apps.

• Satisfied security requirements to maintain company contracts. Difficult to put a number down but the loss of a contract could imply the loss of a large sum
• HIPAA Compliance, further contract maintenance
