BSA Instant Life Protects its Sensitive Data with Zecurion DLP

Customer

Absa Instant Life is a new-generation insurance administrator that offers a high-quality insurance cover and products, whilst saving client money on insurance costs. Instant Life is part of the Absa Group, a leading South African financial services provider.

Business Need

The organization currently deals with thousands of clients’ personal data every day. Internal Risk Management Assessment has shown the need in reliable Data Loss Prevention solution which will help Absa Instant Life comply with the regulations and protect data from unintentional losses or employee fraudulent actions.

The Challenge

Absa Instant Life required Data Loss Prevention to be deployed as Endpoint Agent, detecting sensitive data-at-rest and data-in-motion. The solution had to have no influence on internal IT infrastructure. All of this was within a limited budget. In addition to control of all communication channels and endpoint devices, Absa Instant Life was interested in an option to detect and record information from the user’s screen, clipboard, keyboard and microphone. Support of scheduled or real-time scan of local drive for sensitive information was a noticeable advantage.

The Solution

Absa Instant Life implemented Zecurion Data Loss Prevention, deployed on user endpoints (Traffic Control, Device Control, Discovery Agent).

Selection Process

Absa Instant Life has received 3 competing quotes from well-known cybersecurity vendors, including Zecurion. And it was not only the price, which made decision making easy.

Results

Implementation was easy and took just 2 days. The organization assigned 1 security officer to work with the DLP (adjust reports and analyze staff activity).

Solution in Action

Traffic Control Module Allows Absa Instant Life to monitor traffic and control the flow of data across internet channels to minimize the risk of intentional or inadvertent data loss.

“ Zecurion as a vendor is an absolute pleasure to work with! I am very familiar with the product, however seeing the screen, webcam and microphone capture in practice was a very positive experience. Having a comprehensive view on employees thanks to large scale emotional profiling was impressive as well.”
Eugene Verster, Zecurion Africa Sales Lead, Tech Wise Solution

When a security event or incident occurs, Traffic Control can notify the end user and IT security for a quicker reaction and faster incident response.

Zecurion’s patented preventive content analysis ensures that confidential and sensitive data is never written to external media. Files are analyzed and sensitive files are blocked from being written.

To ensure the integrity of Absa Instant Life’s data protection, Zecurion Device Control will alert the Admin in the event of any sort of tampering or attempts to remove or change settings on the endpoint.

Zecurion Discovery ensures that all data stored on Absa Instant Life’s endpoints is identified and stored properly.

Using all available content detection techniques and context rules, the Admin can create universal DLP policies to make administration simple and straightforward.
