Security risks affecting cyber insurance costs
Cyber insurance policies offer many compelling benefits for organizations, including financial protection, business continuity, and peace of mind. Approval for cyber coverage and your insurance rate depends on the following aspects:
The faster you can detect incidents, the less the damage, and the lower the quotes for your cyber insurance coverage.
Strong measures for remote access protection boost your organization’s security and help you get lower cyber insurance premiums.
Effective insider risk management enhances your resilience and helps you qualify for better cyber insurance plans.
An actionable incident response plan helps to deter attacks and minimize their impact, which helps you meet insurers’ underwriting criteria.
