IT challenges in the Finance and Insurance Industry
Innovative Solutions for Cyber Resilience and Enhanced Performance
In the contemporary digital landscape, IT leaders within finance and insurance sectors encounter a multitude of formidable challenges, particularly in the domains of cyber security, network infrastructure, data protection, and data accessibility. Prominent among these challenges are the imperative to adhere to stringent regulatory mandates, safeguarding sensitive customer and organizational data, and effectively mitigating new and evolving threats and cyber attacks.
Current IT challenges in the Finance and Insurance Industry
-
Cybersecurity
Financial and insurance service providers face the challenge of meeting strict regulatory requirements to safeguard sensitive data. This necessitates a focus on the management of user accounts and access authorizations (Identity & Access Management, IAM). Additionally, preventive detection and elimination of vulnerabilities in the IT infrastructure (Vulnerability Management) also take center stage.
-
Network Requirements
Secure management and control of network access, such as Network Access Control (NAC) or Secure Remote Access, poses a significant challenge. Despite the heightened security requirements, ensuring the network's performance remains uncompromised is crucial. Additionally, the threat of DDoS attacks necessitates measures to ensure network availability.

Data Protection and Data Availability
Compliance with strict data protection regulations like GDPR or DSG is crucial. Disaster recovery and backup solutions are equally vital, particularly for cloud services and Microsoft 365. Emphasizing the shared responsibility model is essential to understand risks and implement appropriate measures.
