Financial institutions operate with very little margin for error. They move large volumes of sensitive data, maintain complex regulatory requirements, and support customers who expect 24/7 access without exception. When networks go down, the consequences go far beyond the IT team. It impacts operations, compliance, reputation, and trust.
That’s why more banks, exchanges, and financial service providers are turning to Opengear to harden their infrastructure and maintain control when it matters most.
Keeping Critical Infrastructure Within Reach
Outages don’t come with a warning. They might be triggered by a misconfigured device, a faulty power supply, or an unpatched vulnerability. While redundant systems are common in banking environments, they don’t cover everything. And when something fails, recovery often relies on a secure, remote way to get back in.
Opengear provides that path. With an independent management plane and secure console access to routers, switches, and firewalls, our solution lets network teams troubleshoot and restore service without needing someone on site. That means ATM and kiosk networks stay accessible, even if the primary connection goes down. Branch locations remain operational. Customers stay connected.
Managing More with Fewer Hands
Many financial institutions are working with a lean staff supporting hundreds or thousands of remote locations. That includes retail branches, ATM networks, and regional data centers. Managing these environments manually isn’t scalable. It’s also risky.
The key to managing this complexity is a reliable solution that enables secure remote access and streamlines key tasks. That’s where Opengear comes in. Our Network Resilience Platform is built for environments like yours. It provides your team with secure, remote access to critical network resources, even in challenging situations. It also automates processes like equipment provisioning and deployment, giving your team more control and reliability.
For one of Europe’s largest banking groups, switching to Opengear was a game-changer. After learning that their previous out-of-band vendor was behind on security disclosures, they made the move. The Opengear solution not only met all of their compliance and security requirements. It also helped their small network team save time on every new install. The team now reports shaving 30 minutes off each critical deployment, thanks to automated provisioning scripts and a reliable connection to all their gear.
Proactive Support, Real-World Resilience
Support matters. Especially in finance, where regulatory expectations and risk tolerance leave no room for vague answers or slow responses.
That same banking customer had asked their previous vendor to address a Telnet vulnerability. The response was delayed, incomplete, and ultimately unhelpful. When they switched to Opengear, they received timely notifications, like assurance that our devices weren’t affected by the Log4j vulnerability, along with the clear, confident communication that builds trust.
Built for the Demands of Financial Networks
Whether it’s a busy urban branch or a remote ATM on the edge of a retail footprint, financial networks have specific demands. They require secure access to gear in hard-to-reach places. They need tools that reduce manual effort and improve uptime. And they rely on fast, accurate communication from the vendors they trust.
Opengear helps financial institutions meet those needs with a platform that’s purpose-built for reliability, security, and scale. We don’t just help IT teams manage outages. We help them prevent them. And we give them the tools to move faster, with more control and less risk.
Because in banking, confidence matters. That’s what Opengear delivers.
