Insurance Brokers
Brokers hold large volumes of sensitive client information: financial records, personal identifiers, claims data, medical history. And in a distributed business, where your people work from home, shared offices, and client sites, the biggest risk isn’t your software. It’s the network they use to reach it.
Loxada gives brokerages one consistent, secure connection standard, wherever their people are working. By replacing untrusted local infrastructure with centrally managed, hardened secure routers, we help protect client data, support your compliance efforts, and give brokers and clients alike one less thing to worry about.
The Risk at the Network Edge
Brokerages are spread out by nature. Some run a franchised model, some support independent remote agents, most now run some form of hybrid work. That flexibility is good for the business, and it introduces a hidden technical risk at the network edge.
The routers your people use in these settings typically:
- Are consumer-grade, never built for secure business use
- Ship with insecure software that can’t be replaced
- Go unpatched, missing critical firmware updates
- Are shared with family or other non-business users
- Provide no network separation, leaving devices open to lateral movement
These routers are rarely visible to IT or security, yet they’re the first point of contact between your staff and your most sensitive systems.
Why It Matters Now
US regulators are sharpening their focus on cybersecurity in insurance. A number of state privacy and breach-notification laws now hold firms accountable for the systems and devices used to reach protected data, not just the internal databases or client-facing platforms. In particular:
- The NAIC Insurance Data Security Model Law, adopted across a growing number of states, requires brokers to put technical safeguards in place, including network security and third-party risk management.
- Cyber insurance carriers increasingly assess remote-access infrastructure when underwriting coverage.
- Clients, commercial and individual, expect demonstrable protection of their personal information.
An encrypted-connectivity client protects traffic in transit, but it doesn’t stop someone connecting through an already-compromised router, and endpoint security doesn’t help if traffic is intercepted on the local network before it reaches the device. Loxada addresses the risk at the source: the network edge itself.
The direction of travel is measurable, too. Within breaches that involved exploiting a vulnerability, the proportion targeting edge devices and VPNs rose from 3% to 22% year on year, an almost eightfold increase (Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report).
How Loxada Helps Insurance Brokers
We supply secure, pre-configured routers that deploy in any location and take the uncertainty out of home and third-party networks, while staying easy to use, scale, and manage.
Each Loxada secure router:
- Runs Loxada’s own secure firmware, replacing the manufacturer’s code.
- Routes traffic through Loxada’s secure connectivity layer, an encrypted connection from the device out to the internet.
- Updates automatically, keeping protections current without the manufacturer.
- Returns to a secure state if tampered with, so a reset can’t quietly undo protection.
- Is centrally managed, bound to named users and revocable on demand.
- Blocks known malicious domains, dropping any request to a domain on Loxada’s aggregated blocklist of known-bad domains before it resolves.
Nothing for your team to set up. No ongoing management at each location. And no change to how your existing systems, from CRMs to policy portals, operate.
Real-World Scenarios We Support
- Independent brokers working from home on high-value policies.
- Hybrid teams moving between regional offices and personal workspaces.
- Field staff or claims assessors connecting from hotels or mobile setups.
- Multi-office firms with differing IT capability across locations.
- Temporary or franchised teams that require access to core systems.
In each case, the connection is secured, consistent, and compliant, as if the user were plugged in at your main office.
Why Insurance Firms Choose Loxada
- Protects client data over unknown, untrusted or compromised networks.
- Supports NAIC-aligned safeguards and your broader compliance goals.
- Enables secure work from anywhere, with no extra training or setup.
- Scales with the business, deployed to individuals or whole regions.
- Strengthens cyber insurance readiness with demonstrable network security controls.
- Reassures clients that your systems are secure, even outside the office.
Loxada secures one layer, the networks outside your control that your team connects from. It complements your endpoint, identity, and connectivity tooling rather than replacing it.
