Netwrix
Corporation, a provider of a visibility platform for user behavior analysis and
risk mitigation that enables insurance companies to protect confidential
customer data and demonstrate regulatory compliance, has announced that
Unigarant, an insurance company from Hoogeveen, the Netherlands, chose Netwrix
Auditor to gain visibility across critical IT systems, protect sensitive data
against exfiltration and speed up preparation for compliance audits.
Unigarant
is a market leader in personal lines for mobility, holiday and leisure
insurance, including bicycle and motorcycle insurance. Since Unigarant handles
an enormous volume of personal information, the company's IT department wanted
to reduce security risks by reporting on access to critical data and modifications
to security configurations. The inability to spot malicious changes (such as
privilege escalation) could put the business at risk of losing customers'
loyalty and failing compliance audits. After evaluating several solutions,
Unigarant opted for Netwrix Auditor, which enabled the company to achieve the
following results:
Detect
security threats faster. The IT team regularly reviews reports on changes and
data access, including non-owner access to mailboxes, deletion or modification
of virtual machines, and changes to domain controllers and databases. The
Enterprise Overview dashboards help the IT team monitor user behavior patterns
and detect suspicious activities, while email alerts enable them to address
security issues quickly.
Reduce
preparation time for audit checks. Unigarant uses the out-of-the-box compliance
reports Netwrix Auditor provides to prove its compliance with the Dutch Data
Protection Act, which the company is subject to. And the Interactive Search
feature helps the IT team quickly find details about user actions and critical
changes, so they can easily respond to specific requests from auditors.
"Before
Netwrix Auditor, we weren't able to ensure that every permission and
configuration was right across all the systems we have to report on: Active
Directory, Exchange, file servers, SQL Server, VMware and so on. For a security
or compliance check, we needed at least 2 days to produce the necessary
reports. Today, it takes only 2 minutes to prove that there were no security
policy violations," said Gerrit Meijering, IT Specialist at Unigarant.
"Today,
insurance companies face two major challenges: maintaining the security of
customer data and proving their compliance with wide range of industry
regulations. As sophisticated cyber attacks continue to escalate, deep
visibility across the IT environment becomes critical for detecting insider
threats and external attacks in their early stages. User behavior analytics
will help organizations gain a better understanding of what's going on with
their sensitive data and become more proactive in their cybersecurity
efforts," said Michael Fimin, CEO and co-founder of Netwrix.
Netwrix
Auditor is a visibility platform for user behavior analysis and risk mitigation
that enables IT teams to control what is going on in the most critical areas of
the IT infrastructure. The platform empowers insurance companies to root out
security gaps across the IT environment, protect confidential customer data and
slash preparation time for compliance audits.
