The banking sector in Kolhapur, like financial institutions everywhere, faces a dual challenge: providing seamless, accessible services to customers while simultaneously defending against an ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. From district central co-operative banks to urban branches and dispersed ATMs, the need for robust security and unwavering network availability is paramount. Traditional networking solutions often struggle to meet these demands effectively and economically in diverse geographical settings. This is where Cnergee steps in, offering a new paradigm in network security and connectivity, built from the ground up with banks like yours in mind.
Cnergee is not just another networking vendor; we are a “New Age Make in India Subscription based Software Defined Networking Product Company” . We pride ourselves on being an “OEM”, meaning our technology is “In-house Tech Built from Ground-up”
This foundation allows us to offer a “Secure by Design” approach, which is fundamentally different from solutions patching security onto existing frameworks. A core principle of our design is having “NO OPEN Source” in our product, providing a level of security assurance that off-the-shelf components cannot match.
For banks in Kolhapur handling sensitive financial data and transactions, this embedded, proprietary security is a critical layer of defense. One of the standout technological differentiators Cnergee offers is our patented PMTA technology (Packet-wise Multisession Tunnel Aggregation). This is an industry-first feature, which establishes multiple sessions between concentrator (hub) and CPE (spoke) links. For banking operations that demand both high throughput and zero packet loss, PMTA delivers. It ensures “True WAN aggregation“ at the packet level, making sure all available links are utilized optimally for critical applications like transaction processing or video feeds from ATMs. This packet-based approach provides significant benefits bundled with top-notch security. Security risks are not limited to external threats; physical access to network devices at branch locations can also be a vulnerability. Cnergee addresses this directly with our CPE (Customer Premise Equipment). These devices are designed with “NO local GUI / CLI”.
All management is handled remotely via our orchestrator. This “True Zero Touch provisioning” means there is “NO GUI/CLI in CPE”, eliminating the possibility of unauthorized configuration changes or data access by someone with physical access to the device at a branch or ATM location. This “Secure by Design” approach enhances overall security across the lifecycle. Beyond the foundational design, Cnergee incorporates multiple advanced security features essential for financial institutions. We provide “Application based encryption”, securing data at a granular level. Our technology utilizes “Dynamic Key Rotation“ , changing encryption keys frequently (every 600 seconds or 5 seconds depending on the source context), making it significantly harder for malicious actors to intercept and decrypt traffic over time.
The Cnergee Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) offers comprehensive security, advanced threat prevention, and granular control. This includes features like “SSL/TLS inspection for encrypted traffic”, “Content Filter”, “Gateway Anti-virus” , and built-in “IPS/IDS” (Intrusion Prevention/Detection System). We also offer “End-point Security” (AV / Patch Mgmt / EDR), critical for protecting the various devices used within bank branches. User Identity and Access Management (IDAM) is available as a standalone module or integrated with SD-WAN, enhancing security by ensuring only authorized users access resources. The IDAM solution centralizes user identity and access management, providing a central audit trail for compliance.
For branches and ATMs, especially those in rural or semi-urban parts of Kolhapur district, ensuring high uptime despite potentially unreliable local internet infrastructure is critical. Cnergee’s dual SIM-based solution is specifically designed for this challenge, enabling “High Uptime” economically and providing redundant connectivity. This capability, combined with PMTA’s ability to aggregate multiple WAN links, means your branches and ATMs can maintain connectivity even if one link experiences issues. The system is designed for “High Uptime SLA” and offers “True WAN aggregation” (Packet Based) for high throughput. The “Multi Direction Multi Path (MPMD)” routing feature dramatically increases resilience against traffic interception and session hijacking, adding redundancy so if one path is lost, others remain active. Features like “Built in High Availability (HA)” for Internet, Hardware, DC and DR further underscore the focus on continuous operation. For ATM infrastructure specifically, Cnergee provides a solution to challenges like single link uptime issues, offering dual SIM-based redundant connectivity and rapid EJ Pulling. We have deployed solutions for over 15,000 locations for one of India’s largest PSU Banks and 500 SD branches for one of India’s largest Pvt. Sector Banks, demonstrating significant experience in the Indian banking sector, including over 65 DCBs in Maharashtra.
This extensive experience in the banking sector, including tackling challenges with ATM infrastructure, directly translates to a deep understanding of the uptime and security needs of banks in Kolhapur.
In conclusion, Cnergee’s “Secure by Design” approach, powered by proprietary technology like PMTA and dynamic key rotation, combined with practical features like no local GUI/CLI in CPE and dual SIM support, offers Kolhapur’s banking sector a robust and reliable network foundation. Our solutions are built to protect against modern threats while ensuring the high availability needed for critical banking services across all your locations, competing head-to-head with leading global brands.
