# Leading Insurer Reduces Risk and Improves Security Operations
## Challenge

### Need for Improved Insight and Context to Protect Critical Digital Operations

- Inadequate visibility across the network to effectively identify vulnerabilities and investigate suspicious activity

- Limited insight to efficiently investigate the source and scope of security incidents

## Solution

### User-Centric Network Traffic Analysis Integrated with Existing Security Ecosystem

- User-centric network traffic analysis of digital operations for customers, employees and remote associates

- Uniquely granular and contextualized insights into user and host threat activity

- Additional visibility into vulnerabilities, including weak encryption for user authentication and other critical communications

- Automated and operationalized threat intelligence from multiple sources, to expand and accelerate breach detection

- Unified single-click actions for file extraction, threat analysis, impact assessment, and mitigation

- Integrated workflow to track attack indicators from the network into an endpoint, accelerating identification of the source and extent of breaches

## Results

### More Efficient and Effective Security Operations

↑ Scope of threat detection through more comprehensive visibility and rapid use of threat intelligence

↓ Mean time to detect and remediation with integrated workflows

↑ Security team productivity by minimizing the manual effort required for incident investigation

↑ Value of existing security ecosystem by delivering seamless, integrated workflows across best of breed products addressing multiple threat surfaces
