Insurance Overview
The insurance industry holds a vast amount of sensitive personal and financial data, making it an attractive target for cybercriminals. From policyholder information and Social Security numbers to banking details and health records. Insurance companies manage a treasure trove of confidential data that, if compromised, can result in devastating consequences. As the industry undergoes digital transformation through customer portals, claims management systems, cloud adoption, and third-party integrations, the attack surface continues to expand. This leaves many insurers exposed to modern cyber threats.
Risks
Penetration testing is a critical security measure that helps insurance companies identify and fix vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Whether it’s a misconfigured cloud service, a vulnerable web application, or weak access controls within internal systems. Gaps lead to data breaches, ransomware incidents, and compliance violations. Insurance providers are also subject to strict regulatory requirements such as HIPAA, NYDFS, and NAIC model laws. This makes proactive security testing an essential part of their risk management and audit preparation processes.
