SambaSafety Chooses Cohesive Networks' VNS3 to Secure 20+ End-to-End IPsec Tunnels

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Nov 29, 2016) - AWS re:Invent -- Cohesive Networks, a cloud-native security and network software company, today announced that SambaSafety has chosen Cohesive Networks' VNS3 and VNS3:ha in production to secure overlay networks on top of Amazon Web Services (AWS). SambaSafety works in partnership with State governments and other third-party information providers to acquire, process, and report critical driver information. VNS3, Cohesive Networks' flagship product, provides SambaSafety with end-to-end encrypted networking capabilities at the application layer, high availability, scalability, and the flexibility SambaSafety needs for secure compliance reporting.

"After researching and testing different technologies, we chose Cohesive Networks VNS3 because it is the most reliable and straightforward way to connect our cloud-based resources, and ensure all traffic between the source and destination is encrypted," said Ryan Woodard, IT Manager at SambaSafety. "Furthermore, Cohesive Networks' outstanding customer support has made our job easier. Their technology delivers greater security for all our critical business systems."

• Ensure best practices of fully end-to-end encryption for all personal identifying information.
• Quickly and easily configure network connections between partners and AWS cloud-based servers with added high availability.
