GEICO Selects ForgeRock®
to Support Online Customer
Portal Initiative
Major US auto insurer leverages ForgeRock Identity Platform™ to create secure online experience
GEICO is the second-largest private passenger auto insurer in the United
States, providing 24-hour service, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
ForgeRock®, the leading open platform provider of identity and access management (IAM)
solutions, today announced that it has been selected by GEICO to support their initiative to
build an online customer portal and provide a secure, modern online experience with the
ForgeRock Identity Platform™. GEICO, the second-largest private passenger auto insurer
in the United States, provides 24-hour service, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and is
transforming their business to meet customer demands by offering state-of-the-art, next
generation Web services.
Security and identity management are critical in providing a modern online experience. The
ForgeRock Identity Platform, including Access Management, Directory Services, and Identity
Management, will serve as the foundation of GEICO’s online customer portal. With the
ForgeRock Identity Platform, GEICO is able to quickly integrate the lightweight, modular, open
source ForgeRock technology with their architecture and Web services to seamlessly scale to
meet the needs of today’s modern Web strategy, including mobility.
“Initially, we considered traditional, closed source enterprise IAM vendors to help us drive our
vision forward, but it quickly became evident that they would not be able to offer a solution that
would be able to integrate or scale as quickly as we needed,” said Greg Kalinsky, senior vice
president and chief information officer, GEICO.
We selected ForgeRock as our IAM technology partner because of their success in delivering the
ForgeRock Identity Platform in an easy-to-deploy, highly scalable approach to enterprise, cloud
and mobile environments. To us, ForgeRock understood what it meant to create a modern, best-inclass Web experience for our large and exceedingly diverse customer base.”
