Sara Assicurazioni Elevates Security and Efficiency for Diverse Employee and Partner Communities with Ping Access Management

In the bustling realm of insurance, secure yet efficient access to information and applications is essential to success. Additionally, insurers need to combat fraud, meet regulatory requirements, protect privacy and deliver innovative and customized solutions to its various users. Italy’s leading insurer, Sara Assicurazioni, is migrating from a legacy identity platform to Ping Identity in order to meet these goals.

With a diverse set of insurance offerings, Sara Assicurazioni has a complex employee and partner community that help support those offerings, including full-time employees, doctors, car repair shops and more. The organisation saw that in the near future, its existing IAM platform would struggle with flexibility, scale, evolving security requirements and would ultimately hinder innovation. In order to stay on the leading edge of identity, which keeps employees and partners happy while protecting them against ever-increasing cyber threats, Sara Assicurazioni decided to retire its existing infrastructure and upgrade to Ping’s modern and powerful identity platform.

Sara Assicurazioni’s journey with Ping began with a thorough assessment of their existing infrastructure and security protocols–identifying areas of opportunities and potential weaknesses that needed to be addressed with a new platform. After proving numerous use cases, Sara Assicurazioni determined that Ping Access Management running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) provides the flexibility and scalability necessary to accommodate Sara Assicurazion’s multifaceted ecosystem. Specifically, Sara Assicurazioni will deploy Ping Access Management as well as Directory Server to store identity and rich profile data, and Identity Gateway to integrate legacy applications.

“As Italy’s leading insurer, it is our job to keep our employees and partners happy through exceptional digital experiences. We also need to protect them as well as our company against fraud and bad actors,” said Paolo Perrucci, Director ICT Architectures and Operations at Sara Assicurazioni. “As such, identity is a top priority for us and we must have the absolute best identity platform in place. After extensive searching, we are sure that Ping will provide the technology and partnership we need to meet these ambitious yet critical goals.”
