Executive Summary
With data security a critical business imperative, financial services company Sun Life Financial chose to move its existing Apache Ranger data security platform to Amazon Web Services (AWS) as part of its cloud migration process. AWS Partner Privacera offered Sun Life a seamless way to leverage its existing Apache Ranger investment, securely migrate its data without exposing sensitive elements, and implement consistent, fine-grained access controls that both ensure data security and support the company’s cloud-based analytics efforts.
Leveraging the scalability and security of the cloud
Canada’s Sun Life Financial, one of the largest life insurance companies in the world, offers a broad range of insurance, investment, and asset management products and services to its clients. As a financial services company, Sun Life holds a vast amount of sensitive customer data and personally identifiable information (PII).
In 2019, Sun Life decided to migrate to AWS after recognizing its on-premise platform lacked the flexibility and scalability required to add capacity and support leading-edge analytics. Using AWS tools such as Amazon Simple Storage Solution (Amazon S3) for data storage, Amazon EMR for analytics, and Amazon SageMaker for machine learning, Sun Life created a cloud-based ecosystem that could grow with the company.
