American National Insurance Company (ANICO) had a potential data leakage problem a couple of years ago, prompting the insurer early last year to start encrypting desktops, laptops, disks, and sensitive email messages.

The $17.6 billion ANICO, which has 60,000 agents, 5 million policyholders, and three locations, previously had confidential information flowing freely among its employees, agents, and policyholders for the company. “We knew we had a data leakage problem but were not sure how significant it was,” recalls Ken Juneau, assistant vice president and director of enterprise architecture systems for ANICO, which offers life insurance, annuities, health insurance, credit insurance, pension plan services, and property and casualty insurance for personal lines, agribusiness, and commercial risks.
