Fast, Secure, Future-Ready: Cyberlink Supports GLKB in Its Digital Connectivity Journey.

Positive Experiences from Within the Organization

The decision in favor of Cyberlink was not based on a traditional tender process, but on concrete experience within the organization itself. In particular, GLKB’s network team had already worked with Cyberlink — delivering convincing results. “The internal feedback was clear: Cyberlink works efficiently, thinks ahead, and delivers reliably. That convinced us to further expand the partnership,” says Dimitri Mumber. The very first project implementation confirmed this impression. The collaboration was lean, focused, and free of unnecessary coordination efforts — a clear added value in the demanding IT environment of a bank.

Technological Advancement with SSFN and SCION

In the next phase, the partners jointly implemented GLKB’s connection to the Secure Swiss Finance Network (SSFN) — a key prerequisite for secure and regulatorily compliant data communication in the financial sector. GLKB was among the first banks in Switzerland to fully migrate its ATMs to this technology. More recently, the service portfolio was expanded with connectivity via SCION technology. With this step, the bank is investing in a network design that meets the highest requirements for confidentiality, integrity, and availability — another strategic move toward a future-proof infrastructure.

Direct Communication and Rapid Implementation

A central success factor of the collaboration is the direct exchange with a dedicated contact person: Stephan Ulrich, CSO at Cyberlink. For Mumber, this is a decisive advantage: “We speak directly with the right people who understand our concerns — without detours or lengthy preparation. Implementation is fast and solution-oriented.” The project work is closely aligned with the bank’s internal processes — efficient, technically sound, and fully transparent at all times.

A Partner That Takes Responsibility

Cyberlink’s willingness to assume responsibility beyond technical implementation is particularly evident in complex project situations — such as coordinating with external partners during the SSFN integration. “Cyberlink reliably represented our interests — as if they were part of our own company. That builds trust and confirms we chose the right partner,” explains Dimitri Mumber. He also highlights the quality of consulting when addressing new requirements: if a solution is not appropriate, this is communicated openly and honestly — without sales pressure.

Conclusion and Recommendation

With Cyberlink, Glarner Kantonalbank was able to efficiently implement key infrastructure projects, meet regulatory requirements at an early stage, and strategically advance its network solutions. “For us, Cyberlink is a reliable partner who understands our needs, thinks proactively, and implements pragmatically,” says Mumber. Internal feedback on the collaboration has been consistently positive — particularly regarding technical expertise, straightforward project execution, and clear communication. “I recommend Cyberlink to all organizations that value efficient solutions, technical excellence, and true partnership,” concludes Dimitri Mumber.
