Why Identity Intelligence Is Becoming Critical to Cyber Insurance Readiness
Brief
Cyber Insurance Has Changed
Not long ago, obtaining cyber insurance was a relatively straightforward process.
Organizations completed an application, answered questions about their security controls, and received coverage.
Today, the process looks very different.
Cyberattacks have become more frequent, more sophisticated, and more costly. In response, cyber insurance providers have tightened underwriting standards, increased scrutiny, and placed greater emphasis on an organization’s overall cyber resilience.
As a result, organizations are no longer evaluated solely on whether they have firewalls, endpoint protection, or multi-factor authentication.
Insurers increasingly want to understand how well an organization identifies, manages, and reduces cyber risk over time.
Identity has become a central part of that conversation.
