From traditional choices to modern risks
Those providing IT support to SMEs often see it happen: infrastructure is chosen because it “fits the needs,” and it remains untouched for years. However, the context changes. Cyber threats are now a constant presence, and solutions that once sufficed are suddenly inadequate. Especially when it comes to secure remote access, customers only realize too late that their VPN setup is not only slow and cumbersome but also vulnerable.
At Fleximum, founded by Stijn Wens, it’s precisely this gap between good intentions and actual needs that is addressed. And security is not a last-minute add-on, but a fundamental starting point.
Jimber as a Strategic Move
Through technology partner Smartworkx, Fleximum was introduced to Jimber, initially as a VPN replacement. But it quickly became clear that Jimber offers more: a zero-trust based access method that perfectly aligns with a modern SASE approach. The technical transition turned out to be surprisingly smooth. No more remote sessions or manual configurations; users simply install the Jimber Client, log in using their Microsoft 365 credentials, and are instantly connected — no IT support intervention required.
This simplicity is valuable, but the real difference lies under the hood: segmented access, context-based policies, and no open networks. With this, Fleximum shifts from traditional VPNs to a scalable, future-proof security architecture.
Added Value for both customers and partners
End users also respond positively: the connection is fast, stable, and intuitive. No frustrations, no waiting periods. For Fleximum, this means less time spent on configuration or troubleshooting, and more time to focus on strategic advice and broader security. Soon, customers will even be able to download and activate Jimber directly from Fleximum’s website — an extra layer of autonomy, without compromising control.
With Fortinet announcing the end of its SSL VPN approach, the timing couldn’t be more relevant. Fleximum is proactively addressing this with a solution that is secure, manageable, and ready for growth. However, no compromises are made by simply choosing simplicity; rather, complexity is reduced while still enhancing security. Ultimately, this is what Jimber SASE offers: smart, robust, high-performance, and stable security without impacting ease of use.
