A Fortune 500 insurance company has a seamless cybersecurity integration transition to adopt a model of governance and oversight to address existing security vulnerabilities.
SITUATION
Our client, a renowned Fortune 500 insurance company, faced significant challenges in evolving its security operations. They required their security operations to adopt a model focused on governance and oversight. Understanding their limitations in resources and expertise to address existing security vulnerabilities and transform their operational strategy, the company sought an expert partnership with Apex Systems to guide and implement the necessary enhancements.
Transformation Roadmap Leads To Advanced Cybersecurity
Given the urgency and tight turn-around time, Our Cybersecurity Solutions organization assembled and deployed a unified Security Advisory Services (SAS) team. We made recommendations on how to structure the team and established an ongoing reporting/management/forecasting cadence with our client's leadership to optimize the team against the rapidly transforming organization. This strategic move was designed to execute on the backlog of transition activities and ensure seamless integration into a new operating model.
Our collaborative approach involved partnering closely with the client's team to meticulously diagnose existing security issues and curate a tailored roadmap. This roadmap was instrumental in fostering the client's organizational maturity while simultaneously managing ongoing security concerns and vulnerabilities.
Throughout the process, the Apex SAS team served as the cornerstone, bridging the gap between the client's operational needs and their transformation objectives, which were prioritized to align with the overarching strategy. Apex partnered with our client to conduct a thorough evaluation of the client’s current information security posture. This evaluation produced detailed recommendations designed to enhance security measures and unify security standards, thereby elevating the overall organizational resilience.
RESULT
The ongoing partnership with Apex has enabled the client with the additional leadership and bandwidth needed to execute a robust strategy definition, an ongoing transformation roadmap, and refined operational services. Since inception, Apex has engaged in 62% of this client's Security Advisory Services project backlog with 30% of those projects being closed as of the writing of this case study. These contributions are pivotal in helping the enterprise enhance its security position significantly. Our client is not only prepared for today's challenges but are also poised for future advancements in cybersecurity.
