About the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB)

SWIB is a premier public investment organization responsible for managing the assets of the Wisconsin Retirement System, which serves 650,000 participants and 1,500 employers. Their primary mission is to ensure the financial security of their members through prudent and effective investment management.

The Challenge

Managing assets on such a massive scale makes SWIB a high-value target for sophisticated, state-sponsored threat actors. A reactive security model was simply not an option. They needed to implement a proactive, comprehensive zero-trust architecture to protect every identity, device, and piece of data, ensuring the absolute integrity of their operations.

The Solution

Infused Innovations implemented a full, end-to-end security solution based on our Zero Trust Security Accelerators (ZTSAs), for which we won the 2021 Microsoft US Partner Award. This comprehensive engagement delivered best-practice security controls across the entire organization, including robust identity management, complete device security, granular data protection, and advanced threat detection.

The Results

SWIB now operates with an automated, state-of-the-art security framework that provides single-pane-of-glass visibility across their entire environment. This has given their leadership the peace of mind to focus on their core mission: generating strong financial returns for their participants, rather than worrying about the immense cost and disruption of a potential cyber incident.

A Fiduciary Duty, Secured by Zero Trust

This partnership transformed SWIB's security from a defensive necessity into a strategic asset. By implementing an award-winning zero-trust framework, we provided the highest level of assurance, allowing one of the nation's largest public investment funds to operate with confidence and security.

Award-Winning ZTSA Methodology

We implemented our 2021 Microsoft US Partner Award-winning Zero Trust Security Accelerators to deliver a proven, best-practice security architecture.

Comprehensive Asset Protection

The solution protects the full portfolio of identities, devices, and data, securing the $165B in assets under management from modern cyber threats.

 

Enabling Mission Focus

The robust, automated security posture allows SWIB's team to concentrate on their primary fiduciary duty of managing investments for their 650,000 participants.
