million dollars is the average cost of a breach in the insurance industry 3



When every application is a gateway to policyholder trust

Traditional application security can't keep up

Managing the scale and velocity of AI-assisted coding tools that introduce new and complex security risks.

Lacking visibility into vulnerabilities that are created by AI-generated code.

Attempting to secure the modern threat landscape while maintaining legacy systems.

Lack of visibility into application-layer events

Facing a critical visibility gap into the application-layer where sophisticated attacks occur.

Relying on traditional tools like WAF and EDR that are blind to the application-layer.

Difficulty in pinpointing the lines of code that allowed the initial breach point or understanding the full scope of the compromise within the application itself.

Increased attack surface

Expanding the digital footprint through a growing portfolio of web applications and APIs.

Increasing the attack surface, making applications prime targets for cyber threats.

Facing a rise in attacks that target the application layer, including injection attacks, broken authentication and insecure deserialization.

Protect sensitive policyholder data by securing the application layer
  • Apply immediate controls to safeguard data: When an attack happens, applying immediate controls is essential for protecting sensitive policyholder data and critical business operations. Real-time visibility allows security teams to prioritize vulnerabilities and apply these controls swiftly because security teams can not only see the attack as it unfolds but also pinpoint the exact lines of code that enabled it.
  • An essential safety net for legacy systems: Deploying patches can be a lengthy process, particularly with the intricate legacy systems. Runtime application security provides a vital safety net that automatically applies compensating controls the moment a vulnerability is exploited, even before a permanent fix is deployed.
  • Block attacks on AI-generated code: The increasing use of AI to assist in code generation for underwriting platforms, claims processing systems, and customer portals introduces new potential for insecure code and zero-day vulnerabilities. Runtime application security provides context-aware detection, which is crucial for blocking attacks against this AI-generated code.
  • Scalable protection for complex infrastructures: Insurance organizations manage vast and complex IT infrastructures, from customer-facing portals to internal underwriting platforms and third-party integrations. Runtime application security can scale to protect entire application stacks, including APIs and third-party applications, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
