Insurance Companies are Now Software Companies
Digital transformation has turned some of the most established and reliable consumer brands into software-first companies. Now, they need to manage identity credentials at scale and track increasing identity risks.
As some of the most trusted consumer brands for auto, home and life insurance have gone all-in on their digital presence, two outcomes need to be addressed: phishing-resistant authentication for their own users that stops cyber attacks before they happen; and identity risk insight to see where the thousands of identities they generate and rely on – both human and machine – may be at risk

Key Identity Challenges in Consumer Insurance
One aspect of being a digital-first company is shifting customer communications from phone calls and coffee shops to email and web. These are, of course, the favorite hunting grounds for phishing gangs, and old defenses are no match for their new tactics.
The new all-digital customer demands more: more access, more immediacy, and more security. Consumer insurance companies who are rolling out web apps and mobile offerings need to stay abreast of the latest MFA technologies like FIDO support and advanced credential management.
Safeguarding customer information in a digital world is more complicated than ever before. And yet, no industry segment has more to lose by failing to safeguard their customer’s personal data than consumer insurance companies. Strong, phishing-resistant MFA protects not just your staff and your applications, but also your brand.
As insurance companies rely on more identities – for cloud operations, mobile apps, new systems, and digital consumer offerings – they need insight into mounting identity risks. Insights that reveal over-permissioning, potential compromise, or stale or outdated credentials need to come to light sooner rather than later.
Many consumer insurance companies have been around for a long time, and need to transition to new cloud, SaaS and IaaS-based platforms. Sometimes this puts tremendous stress on their existing authentication workflows… especially if they want to extend FIDO or PKI solutions to their customers.
How Axiad Helps Consumer Insurance Companies
Upgrade to Phishing-Resistant MFA
Protect consumer insurance employees against phishing and credential theft by using FIDO and PKI for secure authentication. Axiad has solutions that add phishing resistance to existing multi factor solutions without having to rip-and-replace critical these expensive technologies.
Deploy Zero Trust Architecture
Zero trust isn’t just for federal agencies and high-tech teams: Implementing a zero-trust approach can strengthen security for both remote workers and on-site employees, whether in branch offices or in development teams. Enabling passwordless authentication at every access point is the first step in Zero Trust designs.
Achieve Seamless Integration
Axiad Conductor can integrate with your existing IAM systems – whether IGA, IDP, PKI, hardware tokens or machine identities – without disrupting operations. Axiad Conductor facilitates connection of the many workflows and APIs that are now required in complex IAM architectures.
Automate Credential Management
Credentials are the root of strong MFA: whether PKI-based certificates or FIDO2-based credentials and passkeys. Axaid Conductor simplifies the lifecycle management of digital credentials, securing weak links and reducing administrative workload.
Manage Machine Identities at Scale
Digital transformation means more machines and more workloads – often by orders of magnitude. Managing that many devices means managing 10x the number of certificates and keys you used to manage. That’s when an enterprise-class PKI management solution pays for itself in labor savings and simplification.
