Sophos hosts cyber insurance event: March 16, 2022

One of today’s biggest challenges on the business side of cybersecurity is to qualify for and maintain cyber insurance. The cyber insurance market has been going through tumultuous times during the past two years, driven in part by the COVID-19 pandemic and the sharp increase in ransomware attacks.

Overall, the insurance industry itself has experienced higher-than-expected claims due to ransomware and other malware attacks. This is due, in part, because cyber criminals are targeting work-from-home employees with ransomware attacks because their security defenses generally are easier to breach through email-borne attacks as they are not behind the corporate network defenses. 

As a result of the massive insurance payouts due to ransomware and a reduction of the overall amount of insurance now offered by the insurers, cyber insurance carriers and brokers are clamping down on the risk level they will insure, along with tightening terms, reducing coverage, and increasing policy prices. 

Do you know your cyber insurance risk profile? Ask yourself these questions: What is your cyber insurance risk profile? Do you know how cyber insurers determine who gets insurance and who does not? What can you do to make it easier to secure the coverage you need?
