Securing Policyholder Data with Clear NDR Solution

This technical report outlines the implementation of the Clear NDR solution by Penn National Insurance, a mutual casualty insurance company, to enhance the visibility of east-west network traffic and protect sensitive policyholder data. The company faced challenges with their previous network detection and response solution, particularly after a vendor acquisition, which prompted a search for a more effective solution that could adapt to their evolving infrastructure. The report details the selection process for Clear NDR, emphasizing its compatibility with new virtualization environments and the importance of direct support from Stamus Networks. Following the deployment, Penn National Insurance reported improved visibility into internal network traffic, enabling them to identify security gaps and suspicious activities more effectively. The implementation of Clear NDR has also helped the company meet regulatory compliance requirements, particularly those set by the New York Department of Financial Services. Overall, the report presents the significant improvements in security posture and operational efficiency achieved through this solution.
