A Fortune 200 insurance provider with nearly 100,000 licensed sales agents and agencies worldwide recognized that their on-prem environments could not support their growth and business objectives without the right data protection. A customer of Protegrity since 2017, the insurer partnered to rethink insurance data protection, enabling in-house platforms and workflows to be modernized on AWS using new data platforms, including Snowflake.
The customer was stifled by the technical challenges of moving regulated data into a cloud environment unprotected. The customer’s analytics organization raised concerns about potential delays, roadblocks, and technical shortfalls that would jeopardize the high-visibility project’s momentum. The customer needed to:
- Secure cloud environments and 3rd-party platforms consistently with a robust data protection platform
- Reduce friction for creating data products with sensitive data
- Deploy cloud data protection that supports analytics, AI, and future tools
Technology Used:
- Protegrity data protection platform
- AWS data protection
- AWS Redshift
The Results:
- Highly performant and elastic insurance data protection that accelerates sensitive data projects
- Same robust AWS data protection in the cloud as on-prem delivered with a single platform
- Enabled cloud analytics to be delivered at scale, creating millions of dollars in value
- Reduced complexity and retired legacy systems while offering more flexibility and data protection capabilities
Business Growth Through Customer Insights

The Solution
Working together, the customer and Protegrity architecture teams collaborated to deliver a highly performant, secure, and elastic data protection solution using Protegrity’s data protection platform. Leveraging Snowflake’s architecture and AWS Lambda functions, data protection was embedded within their data platforms, allowing new AI, analytics, and customer experience projects to deliver business value and retire legacy systems. This program continues to prove that cloud data protection is not dependent on location (on-prem or cloud) but on security strategy, enabling it to be shared and analyzed with confidence.
