325-year old insurer achieves 99.8% malware protection

What does it take to help one of North America's leading insurers, with a heritage spanning centuries and millions of customers, accelerate its digital transformation journey? That was the question facing a leading property and casualty insurer. The company had deep financial roots and trusted relationships — but modernizing its IT infrastructure while keeping data safe across hybrid cloud environments was a high-stakes balancing act.

The insurer had already revamped its insurance platform, embraced microservices, and aimed for a 360-degree view of its customers across insurance, pensions, and wealth management. But moving to a hybrid cloud environment introduced unexpected blind spots. Suddenly, on-premises servers, cloud workloads, endpoints, and a patchwork of vendor tools needed protection — all without slowing down innovation.

 

"Our transformation required, hybrid cloud adoption, and hybrid cloud introduces massive blind spots," said a cybersecurity executive at the insurance provider. "We suddenly became responsible for securing on-premises infrastructure, cloud workloads, endpoints — everything fragmented across different vendors. We needed to find a way to identify and stop attacks in real time in our new environment," the executive said.  

To succeed, the insurer needed a strategic partner to enable its transformational migration to a hybrid cloud model. The company faced significant administrative delays tied to change orders, lacked complete application visibility, and needed stronger protection from cyber threats. It required a modern IT environment capable of supporting future innovation. 

In financial services, one breach can cascade. And with 2.5 million customers counting on us, we can't afford to treat security as an afterthought bolted onto the infrastructure. Check Point's ThreatCloud AI integration with DXC's 24/7 managed service meant we had actual threat hunting, not just reactive alerting," the insurer's security executive said. 

From chaos to control

The partnership delivered exactly what the insurer needed: accelerated hybrid cloud adoption, improved application visibility, and stronger cybersecurity defenses.

DXC delivers Check Point capabilities as a managed service, meaning the insurer doesn’t have to juggle multiple security tools. The result: 24/7 monitoring, AI-driven threat hunting, firewall management, and 99% threat response within one hour. Centralized logging and incident management also made regulatory compliance faster and easier – no more reconciling five different tools.

With more than 50 AI engines running threat intelligence across more than 150,000 gateways globally, we’re not fighting ransomware with yesterday’s detection – we’re using real-time intelligence to predict and block attacks before they even reach our systems,” Cybersecurity executive at the insurance provider.
