Case Study: Canal Insurance achieves unified browser policy management and tighter security with PolicyPak

Canal Insurance Unifies Browser Management

Canal Insurance, a 75‑year‑old transportation insurer with about 240 employees, was struggling to enforce browser policies after Microsoft changed Group Policy behavior in Internet Explorer 11 and as employees increasingly used Chrome and Firefox for certain apps. Managing settings across multiple browsers (and related plugins like NPAPI) became time‑consuming and error‑prone, leaving the IT team seeking a single, reliable way to standardize and secure browser behavior.

After a short evaluation and pilot, Canal deployed PolicyPak company‑wide to centrally manage IE, Chrome, Firefox and related third‑party apps. PolicyPak’s ready‑made templates and fast pak updates cut hours of monthly admin work (estimated 12+ hours saved) and delivered an ROI in under six months, while enabling rapid policy pushes (minutes), tighter security (disabled webcam, locked intranet homepage), easier troubleshooting, and strong vendor/community support plus tools to build custom paks.
