Understanding that "cyber insurance" is not a legal term, nor even a standard insurance industry term, this conundrum can seem even more onerous. However, with a little background...
The traditional perimeter-based approach to security depends on firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and web gateways to separate trusted users from untrusted users. Despite spending an estimated $143 billion on these types of security technologies in 2021, two out of three enterprises are still breached — at...
As cyberattacks continue unabated and the cost of ransomware increases, insurance claim payouts exceed insurance premiums. The insurance industry can’t sustain these conditions and is working to right the ship.
In this paper, we explore the state of cyber risk insurance and how insurers react to the current...
Securing thin edge locations, such as very small offices, isn’t commonly discussed as part of campus or branch security.
