SALTUS Ubezpieczenia Enhances Security with Secfense's 2FA Broker

SALTUS Ubezpieczenia, a well-known insurance provider, has taken a significant step to enhance the security of its customer data by implementing Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on its Patient Portal. This portal, dedicated to health insurance policyholders, stores sensitive information such as medical visit histories. The implementation of 2FA is a key component of the insurer’s strategy to protect this sensitive data.

The decision to adopt 2FA was made in response to the guidelines from the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (KNF) and the requirements of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) concerning ICT risk management. The Secfense solution was chosen due to its flexibility, allowing the protection of all web applications without needing to modify existing systems.

Why 2FA Matters

Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide a second form of authentication in addition to the standard login and password. This greatly reduces the likelihood of unauthorized access. Users can choose between receiving codes via SMS or generating them through a mobile app, providing them with options that best suit their needs.

Secfense’s Role

Secfense’s User Access Security Broker has been instrumental in this implementation. By leveraging the latest security standards, including FIDO2, Secfense ensures that SALTUS Ubezpieczenia remains independent of previous system vendors while offering top-tier security for its web applications. The solution has been recognized for its innovation in the financial sector, earning praise at this year’s Insurance Forum Congress.

Future Security Plans

The implementation of 2FA is just the beginning for SALTUS Ubezpieczenia. The company plans to expand its security measures by introducing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) across other processes and services. This approach reflects the company’s commitment to not only meeting but exceeding customer expectations in data protection and cybersecurity.

With these advancements, SALTUS Ubezpieczenia continues to strengthen its position in the insurance market, ensuring that customer data remains secure and well-protected against potential threats.

Testimonials

We are faced with new challenges every day. We must always be one step ahead of the attackers and know what they are going to do before they do it. We are convinced that the User Access Security Broker will bring security to a new level, both for those working at the office and from home. For us, working with Secfense is an opportunity to exchange experience with developers who put great value on out-of-the-box thinking.

As part of the pre-implementation analysis, we verified that users utilize a wide range of client platforms: desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and traditional mobile phones. Each of these devices differs in technological advancement, features, and level of security. Because of this, and also due to the recommendation of the Polish Financial Supervision Authority (UKNF), we decided to introduce additional protection in the form of multi-factor authentication mechanisms based on FIDO. As a result, users of our applications can log in safely, avoiding common cyber threats such as phishing, account takeover, and theft of their own and their clients’ data.

Before investing in Secfense, we had the opportunity to talk to its existing clients. Their reactions were unanimous: wow, it’s so easy to use. We were particularly impressed by the fact that implementing their solution does not require the involvement of IT developers. It gives Secfense a huge advantage over the competition, and at the same time opens the door to potential customers who so far were afraid of changes related to the implementation of multi-factor authentication solutions.

Even when the network and infrastructure are secured enough, social engineering and passwords can be used to gain control of the system by attackers. Multifactor authentication is the current trend. Secfense addresses this and allows you to build zero trust security and upgrade your current systems to passwordless applications within minutes, solving this problem right away,” said Eduard Kučera, Partner at Presto Ventures and cybersecurity expert – former Director in hugely successful Czech multinational cyber security firm Avast.

One of the biggest challenges the world is facing today is securing our identity online. That’s why we were so keen to have Secfense in our portfolio. They make it possible to introduce strong authentication in an automated way. Until now, organizations had to selectively protect applications because the deployment of new technology was very hard, or even impossible. With Secfense, the implementation of multi-factor authentication is no longer a problem, and all organizations can use the highest standards of authentication security.

Two-factor authentication is known to be one of the best ways to protect against phishing; however, its implementation has always been difficult. Secfense helped us solve that problem. With their security broker, we were able to introduce various 2FA methods on our web applications at once.
