Case Study: Large North American Insurance Company achieves mainframe data visibility and compliance with Precisely Ironstream for Splunk

Large North American Insurance Company - Customer Case Study

Large North American Insurance Company, a national leader in automobile and home insurance, faced a major security and compliance risk in its z/OS environment due to limited visibility into sensitive customer data when applications were moved from production to test. Although the company already used Splunk Enterprise for open-systems analytics, it lacked an easy way to get mainframe operational data into Splunk, so it selected Precisely’s Ironstream for Splunk to close that gap.

Precisely implemented Ironstream to collect SMF, Syslog, log4j and USS logs, securely transform them, and forward them to Splunk in real time. The solution gave the company end-to-end visibility into data movement (volumes, transfer protocols such as FTP/XMIT, initiators, source environments), scrubbing status and compliance state, enabling audit readiness, eliminating the previous exposure and substantially strengthening enterprise security and regulatory compliance.
