Case Study: HDFC Life achieves stronger web application security with Indusface

HDFC Life - Customer Case Study

HDFC Life, one of India’s leading life insurance companies and the first insurer to offer a fully online policy-buying experience, needed to secure its growing digital presence. Faced with board-level pressure to expand online customer, partner, and agent services, HDFC Life struggled with open vulnerabilities, legacy systems, policy violations, and frequent DDoS attacks that could disrupt portals and expose sensitive customer data.

Indusface implemented its Total Application Security solution, combining TAS, WAS, and WAF for continuous vulnerability detection, immediate protection of known issues, custom legacy-system patching, and 24/7 monitoring against application DDoS attacks. With Indusface, HDFC Life gained near real-time reporting, proof of vulnerabilities, hybrid automated and manual testing, and scalable protection for more than 10M hits per day, helping reduce security risk and improve confidence in its online services.
