Elevating security and compliance in financial services

Like many financial services organisations, Aegon Australia has shifted several of its workloads and systems to the cloud. Requiring an uplift in security and compliance to support this shift, they turned to Intelliworx. Working closely with Aegon Australia’s team, we implemented a full suite of Microsoft 365 E5 services—rapidly boosting security, automating and streamlining compliance, and enhancing the organisation’s overall customer service and reputation.

The Business Need

The Solution

Intelliworx partnered with Aegon Australia to implement a full suite of Microsoft 365 E5 services—all of which work together to ensure comprehensive visibility, detection, and response capabilities across Aegon’s IT environment: 

Defender for Office

Enhances email security to prevent phishing and other email-based threats.

Defender for Endpoint

Provides advanced threat protection for endpoints, including employees’ devices and laptops.

Defender for Cloud

Delivers security for cloud environments with comprehensive protection measures.

Defender for Identity

Safeguards identities and prevents unauthorised access.

Our team also worked closely with Aegon Australia to ensure all cybersecurity measures were compliant with APRA regulations, and to implement robust governance practices to effectively manage and protect the organisation’s data.  

 Microsoft 365 E5 was selected by Aegon Australia due to its simplicity, reliability, and comprehensive suite of features. Aegon Australia also wanted to benefit from Microsoft’s significant and continued investment in cybersecurity, which would ensure they stayed ahead of emerging threats well into the future.

Reducing the number of vendors has simplified troubleshooting, improved system reliability, and decreased maintenance workloads.  

Aegon Australia also now enjoys significantly enhanced protection for the organisation’s cloud-based systems, plus improved email security and advanced protection against high-risk phishing attacks.
