Started in 2015, mobile app development company AppInventiv provides technology domains like blockchain, artificial intelligence, machine learning and Internet of Things to Fortune 500 companies. With over 500 engineers working under one roof, things became difficult for the company with the Covid-19 outbreak. “To ensure sustainability during the pandemic, we had to implement work from home ethics and it required a huge number of SSL VPN (virtual private networks) connections and a stable firewall that could support the remote connections with concrete security checks and uninterrupted connectivity,” says Peeyush Singh, COO of Noida-based AppInventiv. In the pre-Covid-19 era, employees worked from office and the previous firewall solution sufficed their needs. However, that was now not enough.

AppInventiv turned to cyber security company WiJungle for its needs. “WiJungle has minimised most of our day-to-day operational challenges. Besides safeguarding our server data, it has made it easier for employees to function remotely. It also committed to eliminating our dependency on other hardware as it claimed its appliance was a unified security gateway solution,” says Singh.
