Case Study: a UK-based insurance leader achieves secure native cloud database access with strongDM

UK-Based Insurance Leader enables secure access for 1,500+ users with strongDM

A large UK-based insurance company needed to modernize how its over 2,000 largely non-technical business users, like actuaries, accessed sensitive cloud-hosted databases. The challenge was to provide this secure and compliant access without introducing unmanaged risk, complex user experiences, or costly infrastructure like jump servers. strongDM was evaluated to solve this fundamental problem.

The solution from strongDM enabled colleagues to access databases natively using their existing applications and tools, making the access feel almost invisible. This approach eliminated jump servers and their associated costs while meeting strict security requirements through centralized control and Just-in-Time access. The results included a direct reduction in operational complexity, decreased infrastructure costs, and a successful deployment that led the organization to view strongDM as a strategic platform for future secure access initiatives.
