Case Study: Major General Insurer boosts cybersecurity readiness across a broad, diverse infrastructure with AttackIQ

Major General Insurer Boosts Cybersecurity Readiness Across a Broad and Diverse Infrastructure

Major General Insurer, a fast‑growing global insurer expanding through frequent M&A, faced a fragmented and complex security landscape with independent business‑unit controls (at one point running eight different antivirus solutions). Seeking continuous, scalable control validation and clearer visibility into what threats would get through each environment, the organization evaluated breach and attack simulation tools and chose AttackIQ’s Security Optimization Platform (SaaS) to automate testing across its diverse infrastructure.

AttackIQ was deployed with lightweight agents and an aggressive, then refined, testing cadence—now running weekly, MITRE ATT&CK–aligned assessments across 100+ locations and all business units. The AttackIQ platform identified configuration gaps and missed detections, enabled push‑button retests to verify remediation, informed investment and compliance decisions, improved incident response readiness, and helped standardize security controls companywide so acquired firms meet corporate standards.
