Insurity Case Study | Reach Security

Insurity boosts security with Reach

‍

Operating in the heavily regulated insurance sector, Insurity needed to balance agility with strict security requirements. As both CIO and CISO, Jay Wilson leads an integrated IT and security team that must move fast while maintaining trust with customers. This dual mandate gave Jay visibility into how fragmented best-of-breed tools and evolving initiatives like Zero Trust placed operational burdens on his team.

“We simply didn’t have the time in the day to do this kind of analysis. Reach made it possible in minutes.”

The Challenge

Like many organizations, Insurity had started its Zero Trust journey, but implementation was complex. Early design decisions prioritized speed, allowing the team to move quickly, but Jay knew the architecture wasn’t yet fully aligned with Zero Trust principles. A project to analyze access patterns across their ZTNA provider had begun, but completing it required extensive manual work across fragmented systems.

The Solution

Using data to automate control hardening & attack prevention

Insurity partnered with Reach to address these challenges and bring continuous posture management into their operations. Reach integrated with Insurity’s tech stack—including identity, network, endpoint, conditional access and email— to enable a unified and automated approach to optimizing security controls.

“Reach helps us manage new capabilities in ways we couldn’t before. It’s not just about starting a program, it’s about sustaining it efficiently over time.”

Since implementing Reach, Insurity has transformed its security operations and achieved several improvements:

Continuous Posture Management: each automates monitoring and optimization of security controls, reducing the need for repeated manual efforts.
Operational Efficiency: Reach Quests streamlined workflows, helping the team act quickly on actionable-insights.
Improved Visibility: Reach enhanced understanding of attack surfaces through tools like NIST CIF compliance dashboards and MITRE alignment.
Cross-Team Collaboration: Reach facilitated stronger ties between IT and security teams, ensuring alignment on tool management and objectives.

“Reach is in a unique position. They have the opportunity to create that ‘1 + 1 = 3’ moment across platforms and point tools. That’s the real power.”

Hiring for security expertise instead of security product expertise

Demand security talent has never been greater as the threat landscape continues to evolve.

Reach supports Insurity in moving beyond assessments by helping them continuously identify risk, prioritize action, implement changes, and validate posture in an efficient, scalable way. With Reach acting as a virtual assistant, Jay’s team is empowered to maintain momentum on key programs without increasing headcount or overhead.

The Story Continues

Insurity views Reach as a long-term partner, not just a tool. As new tools and policies are introduced from access controls to endpoint and network configurations, Reach will play a role in enabling and maintaining them.
