As an industry we are stronger working together. The recent Allianz Insurance Company breach exposed data for 1.4 million US customers. According to published reports hackers exploited social engineering tactics to break into a third-party system. This is a clear reminder that even the most secure proprietary measures leave companies vulnerable to third-party attacks.
Working together we can improve security across the Independent Agent (IA) channel. Starting with strong, and MFA enabled, security at the agency management system provides security for all carriers. And it also enables operationally efficient connections – easy round trip – with carrier partners.
SignOn Once, from ID Federation, allows for protection of carrier agent portals and for securing Realtime transactions like TransactNOW and Transformation Station. Do you know if your comparative rating activity is being conducted in a secure manner? Think about all the personal private information (PPI) shared in a quote comparison. Improve cyber protection by utilizing your secure management system authentication to also protect other carrier partners connections.
Let’s work together for a more secure and operationally efficient IA channel.
