Cybersecurity and cloud corporations Akamai Technologies said on the 9th that it successfully implemented its zero trust (a security model that continuously verifies all access) solution, "Akamai Guardicore Microsegmentation," at Samsung Life Insurance.
With this adoption, Samsung Life Insurance strengthened its protection framework across its financial infrastructure. The move is meant to respond to the digital transformation of financial institutions, the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI), and changes in the regulatory environment related to network separation.
Akamai Guardicore Microsegmentation reduces the operational burden that arose from traditional IP (internet protocol)-based perimeter security methods. Samsung Life Insurance used the solution's "Ring Fencing" feature to isolate core business systems and establish a framework for reducing risk.
An Akamai official said, "The solution continuously checks for anomalies in internal network activity, cutting the time required for security incident analysis and mitigation from hours to just minutes," and added, "We will help strengthen Samsung Life Insurance's security posture and operational resilience."
