When you apply for cyber insurance, underwriters check how well you manage risk across your systems.
They review your cyber risk assessment, MFA setup, response plans, access rules, staff training, and patching process. They also look for EDR tools that track device activity and stop harmful behavior early.
Over the past two years, organizations worldwide have faced a 58% jump in weekly cyberattacks, according to the World Economic Forum. Cyber insurance reduces the hit from those events, and you qualify by meeting cyber insurance requirements for SMBs that show your controls work.
You put yourself in a stronger position when your controls work in practice, not just on paper.
