Caser Boosts Cybersecurity with Enhanced Visibility
Caser, the eighth largest insurance provider in Spain, has successfully transitioned to a more secure posture using Tanium's cutting-edge Converged Endpoint Management (XEM) platform. This innovative platform allowed the company to gain 100% visibility into its global endpoints and applications, leading to a significant reduction in cybersecurity risks across its operations.
The Integration of Tanium and EY
The process began when Caser adopted the Managed Visibility and Control (MVaC) service, a collaboration between Tanium and EY. This partnership has not only fortified the cyber hygiene of Caser’s entire IT environment but also contributed to substantial cost savings.
Perspectives from Leadership
Sergio Perello Pascual, Director of Technology and Operations at Caser, emphasized the importance of the MVaC service, stating, "This service equips us with instant visibility into our devices, and helps in managing vulnerabilities, security policies, patches, and third-party applications. It propels our IT operations forward significantly." His commitment to upholding the rigorous security policies set by the parent company, Helvetia, highlights the necessity of this advanced system.
Challenges Before Tanium
Prior to implementing Tanium, Caser faced challenges with inadequate visibility into its IT assets and data. This situation created hurdles in addressing cybersecurity risks and managing operating system patches effectively. The critical requirement was to align with the high security standards of Helvetia, which manages a large customer base and staffing.
Game-Changing Solutions
The MVaC service played a pivotal role in reshaping Caser’s IT operations. By providing real-time insights, it allowed the company to proactively identify vulnerabilities, establish cost control, and thus enhance its operational efficiency.
Insights from Tanium's Team
Jeremy Bellaiche, Regional VP of Spain for Tanium, shared insights about the transformative impact of the XEM platform for Caser. He mentioned that the integration of IT observability with endpoint detection is essential for understanding and securing assets effectively. He stated, "The MVaC solution provides full visibility into devices and allows for the proactive identification of vulnerabilities, which drastically improves our IT operations." This comprehensive understanding of their assets is crucial for effective management and security.
Strengthening Cybersecurity with EY-Tanium Alliance
The collaboration through the EY-Tanium alliance has been instrumental in continuously enhancing Caser's cybersecurity framework. By leveraging EY’s consulting expertise alongside Tanium’s robust platform, Caser has been able to drive data-driven insights and manage assets more effectively, thereby reducing operational risks and amplifying the value of their IT investments.
Best Practices Noted by Experts
Jordi Juan, a Cybersecurity Partner at EY, highlighted the importance of visibility into applications and systems. He stated, "Understanding where assets are, their configurations, and potential vulnerabilities is paramount today. It guides the application of the right risk management measures."
Conclusion
