Case Study: Besso Insurance Group Ltd. achieves 24/7 user-activity visibility and proactive insider-threat protection with Proofpoint

Besso Insurance Group uses Proofpoint to protect data assets

Besso Insurance Group, a London‑headquartered broker with global offices and a focus on complex and unusual risks, needed to protect large volumes of highly sensitive client data. The firm sought a proactive solution to monitor user activity, detect insider threats—whether accidental or intentional—investigate context and intent around possible breaches, and manage a high volume of alerts so security teams could focus on true priorities.

Working with Fortem IT, Besso deployed Proofpoint Insider Threat Management to gain 24/7 visibility into user behavior, create custom rules and real‑time alerts, and integrate with its AlienVault SIEM for streamlined investigations. The result was tailored protection of data assets, faster and more precise incident response, reduced investigation time and storage needs, simplified auditing and reporting, and continuous secure handling of communications such as vessel email exchanges.
