When the CFO of Aflac publicly warns about being on high alert for cyberattacks, it’s a signal that should concern more than just insurers. It’s a wake-up call for every industry. The lines between sectors are blurring – if it can happen to insurers, it can happen to anyone.
Insurance companies sit at the intersection of finance, healthcare, and personal identity – a goldmine for cybercriminals. But the rising wave of attacks targeting them highlights something deeper: attackers aren’t just going after data, they’re going after disruption. The real cost isn’t just lost records – it’s lost trust, interrupted operations, and cascading impacts on client services.
This growing trend mirrors what we’re seeing at AUMINT.io. Social engineering is no longer a side-door tactic – it’s the frontline strategy. From phishing emails to credential harvesting, attackers are perfecting their craft using AI, personalization, and deep research. And it’s working. Even in highly regulated environments, human error is still the top entry point.
So what can be done?
The answer isn’t just more tech – it’s smarter, recurring training and simulation. That’s exactly what AUMINT Trident delivers. Our platform continuously tests real-world attack readiness using targeted social engineering simulations. Then it translates the results into tangible, role-specific improvements for each employee – from finance to IT to execs.
You don’t have to be Aflac to be targeted. You just have to have a vulnerability – and every business does. The only way to truly harden your human layer is by making awareness part of your company culture.
