Founded by Julian Calvo, Ed.D., M.S.
Insurance policies that cover financial losses resulting from cybersecurity incidents including data breaches, ransomware attacks, business interruption, and regulatory fines. Cyber insurance policies typically require organizations to meet minimum security standards (MFA, EDR, backups, incident response plans) as prerequisites for coverage. Premiums vary based on an organization's security posture and industry risk.
Cyber insurance has become a significant driver of cybersecurity investment because insurers mandate specific controls. CISOs negotiate with insurers and demonstrate that security controls meet policy requirements. GRC analysts gather evidence for insurance applications and renewals. Understanding cyber insurance requirements helps security teams justify budgets by linking controls to premium reductions.
