Case Study: Encova Insurance achieves faster audit readiness and centralized secrets governance with Palo Alto Networks Idira

Encova Insurance cuts audit prep time by 95% with Palo Alto Networks

Encova Insurance, a top-tier mutual insurance company, faced significant cybersecurity challenges during its digital transformation to an AWS cloud environment. Legacy systems from acquisitions led to vault and secrets sprawl, creating visibility gaps and making compliance audits a manual, weeks-long process. They partnered with Palo Alto Networks and its Idira Identity Security Platform to centralize governance and find a secure yet frictionless balance for users.

The solution from Palo Alto Networks centralized secrets management with Idira, integrating it with AWS, Jenkins, and ServiceNow to automate processes. This delivered a unified identity security strategy, slashing audit preparation time by 95% from weeks to just hours. It also cut support process resolution times by 50% and contributed to a reduction in cybersecurity insurance premiums, significantly improving both security posture and operational efficiency.
