Motorists Insurance

Time to read: < 2 minutes

Motorists Insurance is a mutual insurance company owned by its policyholders. Their philosophy is simple – deliver unparalleled service to policyholders and independent agents. Motorists is able to deliver on this by combining the benefits of a national company with a community-based business mindset, and through working with independent agents supported by regional office locations.

Challenge

Motorists Insurance was redefining their security strategy and IT systems. To distance themselves from the stodgy, traditional systems insurance companies tend to adopt, they considered building a strong identity infrastructure to increase efficiency and improve the company’s security posture. A legacy tool was not going to get them there, and so their next-generation identity program was born.

Solution

  • Reduce the dependence on legacy systems by automating processes
  • Establish an identity infrastructure that allows for quicker time to market
  • Govern access to reduce the risk of potential exposure

“Our business is based on relationships that are anchored in the identity of insurance agents and the experience they provide. This makes our identity program fundamentally core to the delivery of our business.”

— Tony DeAngelo, Assistant Vice President, Information Security, Motorists Insurance

The results

Motorists Insurance partnered with SailPoint to build their identity governance program, automating access for users and allowing them to be productive on day one. The organization now has a much clearer view of who has access to what. The program has laid the foundation for taking a holistic approach to governing privileged users with CyberArk and integrating with Okta’s access management solution.
