Background

Agio Digital is a licensed financial services group, dedicated to improving the alternative investments space. Agio is licensed by the Securities Commission of the Bahamas to act as an Unrestricted Fund Administrator with delegated authority to license SMART Funds and Professional Funds. Agio has a portfolio of customers that reside all over the world.

Challenges & requirements

As an alternative investments platform mainly for ultra high net worth individuals (UHNWI), privacy and security are paramount. As a global organization, they needs to provide a highly secure way for their mobile clients, independent of geography, to have reliable access to their trades, investments, and funds.

Agio Digital's challenges included:

  • VPN blockers: certain geolocations prevent clients access funds that they legally own while on travel

  • Poor performance: slow speeds, especially for users in particular geographies

  • Unreliability: frequent updating was required and lack of reliable, secure remote network access to their data center in the Bahamas

Solution

Agio Digital partnered with NVIS to provide best-in-class alternative to their VPN. The most intriguing use case was implementing NVIS's new Secure Web Gateway (SWG), allowing secure and private access to help manage the funds, assets, and trades anywhere in the world.

This solution included:

  • Connect anywhere: as a Layer-2-Encrypted SDP, NVIS AI is unaffected by VPN blockers and is able to connect globally without issue

  • Fast performance: nodes are connected peer-to-peer, eliminating routing and reducing latency

  • Economical pricing: pricing is predictable (not metered)

  • Simple administration: takes minutes to deploy and on-/off-boards users easily

  • Highly private: NVIS secures the traffic for Agio's clients and render it invisible to outside threats
