✨Cyber insurance: an agent of change✨ Cyber insurance has become a critical player in shaping the cybersecurity landscape by incentivizing companies to adopt stronger security practices. As cyber risks increase, cyber insurance not only provides financial protection against breaches and ransomware attacks, but also promotes proactive risk management. Insurance companies often require organizations to implement best practices, such as multifactor authentication, endpoint protection and employee training to reduce premiums and improve insurability. In tandem, the underwriting process has become more rigorous, with insurers conducting thorough assessments of a company’s cybersecurity positioning prior to offering coverage. This has encouraged businesses to prioritize cyber hygiene and adopt advanced technologies to meet the expected requirements. Cyber insurers are also becoming more involved in incident response. Many policies now include access to forensic experts, legal counsel, and public relations support to mitigate damage post-attack. The increase in cyber incidents, especially ransomware, has led to higher premiums and more stringent coverage terms, but it has also driven innovation in cybersecurity practices and has motivated companies to strengthen their defenses.
