Security consulting assigment for a leading insurance group in Europe
 
 
The Customer
The Customer is a leading provider of Life Insurance and Pension services based in UK and wanted to extend access to their extranet to over 3,000 Independent Financial Advisors (IFA) across Europe.
 
The Challenge

The key challenges of the project were to:

Securely Reach out to UK’s Independent Financial Advisors through the web world
Secure framework that allows the Client’s partners (IFAs) and customers (stakeholders) to access enterprise applications
Implementation of a secure framework for single sign on for extranet users and B2B users through the web interface
Integration with OSIS Certificates and Critical Path Directory server
Lack of support for integrating the security product with new web applications
 
The Solution

Wipro identified the pain points and gaps in the existing security implementation at the customer and actuated with a ‘Proof of Concept’ to showcase the integration features of the WiproWebsecure™ product. After a successful POC, Wipro was given the responsibility to cater to the entire application security requirements of the customer.

To begin with, Wipro provided application security consulting and recommended an overall application security framework to the customer. The WiproWebsecure™ team did an end-to-end enterprise security audit and captured all the security vulnerabilities in the web applications, operating systems, web servers, firewall and network deployments. This was followed by ‘Enterprise Access Control Modeling’ for a comprehensive singular access control policy for all applications in the enterprise with a final implementation and customization of the

WiproWebsecure™ product to meet the security needs/pains of the customer.

 
Benefits to the customer
The customer experienced the following benefits

Extended distribution reach through the web without compromising on security.
Increased customer loyalty with the Single Sign On feature that facilitates seamless access across multiple web applications. This would increase positive end user experience and thus enhance customer loyalty.
Reduced administration expenses due to the single point administration feature with distributed identity management for multiple enterprise applications.
Productivity improvement with the User administration module that would enable the Customer to effectively delegate user management deep into the lines of business.
Control and Audit - the Customer’s administrators can track the user access to a fine-grained level and have a consolidated view of the access to each information and resource.
Proactive security alerts - The Automatic incident response feature would enable an immediate alert to the administrator on the indication of a security breach, thereby providing a pro-active approach to the Customer to enforce security management.
Minimal customization/integration effort (due to the availability of pre-built adapters) that reduces the operational costs and total cost of ownership.
A substantial reduction in the administration, operational effort and cost.
Addition of new applications to the security framework with ease and minimum effort.
The independent financial advisors and stakeholders of the customer would also be benefited from this project through personalized content and access, seamless sign on to applications, highly secured information exchange etc.
Thus, WiproWebsecure™ would help the Customer not only to cut its off-line customer support costs and complexities but also save administration time and costs, improve user productivity and increase administration and operational efficiencies.
