Industry Challenge for Laya

Healthcare insurance companies deal with a great deal of personal and often sensitive client information. This requires diligence on the part of the company and a commitment to protecting these sensitive assets in a reliable and compliant manner. Consequently, Laya Healthcare (part of the AIG Group) deal with vast quantities of data across medical and financial aspects of their business and a particular challenge for them was the volume of security logs that are created on a daily basis. There is a large amount of information coming from the firewalls and servers. Laya Healthcare was faced with limited visibility across their network. There was also limited ability to correlate the millions of events that took place within their environment.
