Criminals are taking advantage of Aflac’s transition from a legacy serving model to a digital-first environment via Account Takeover (ATO) and other techniques. To protect Aflac policyholder data while enabling the digital transformation, Aflac leveraged in-place security technology (Splunk) and real-time channel/servicing data (call center, online, claims and client master) to create a flexible analytics platform that can flag suspicious activity in real time and alert business partners in fraud, claims operations and security to take corrective action. The project delivered real-time visibility across all aspects of Aflac core individual business units and ID validation infrastructure.

Tractor Supply Company embarked on a journey to revamp its Identity Management program, incorporating Privileged Access Management (PAM), Single Sign-On (SSO), and credential management. In the latter two use cases the company was replacing solutions already in place, and instituting an additional multi-factor authentication solution to limit risk on critical systems. While vendor consolidation was a secondary consideration, the primary consideration was more advanced features and functionality to elevate its security posture and create a better user experience for TSC’s 28,000 employees.
