Masterclass: Boosting Insurability With Service Account Management & MFA
2023-10-18 14:00 - 15:00 | Online Event
Boosting Insurability With Service Account Management & MFA
The surge in ransomware attacks has prompted leading underwriters to raise the bar for renewal or purchase of cyber insurance policies and Service Account Management. Insureds are now required to deploy various security measures – such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), Identity and Access Management (IAM) and Privileged Access Management (PAM) policies. However, managing Service Accounts and MFA is not as easy a task as one might think. Many insureds still struggle to stop the lateral movement of ransomware threat actors through their company’s infrastructure. The Cyber Insurance Academy has gathered industry experts from all corners of the cyber insurance industry to share insights on measures that cyber insurance professionals can take to prevent this risk from turning into a claim.
The Cyber Insurance Academy was delighted to host our Industry Peers from Silverfort and Tokio Marine HCC as we dive into this topic during this month’s Fireside Chat.
Agenda: Service Account Management and MFA

Why has MFA and Identity Security become so important for insurers?
What are the barriers to implementation experienced by insureds?
Actionable advice for underwriters, brokers and claims handlers when assessing their insured’s implementation of privileges management and MFA.

Masterclass: Supporting Insureds With Email Security
2023-05-23 18:00 - 19:00 | Online Event
Supporting Insureds With Email Security
Cyber insurance professionals play a critical role in helping businesses understand and manage their cyber risks with email security. Understanding email security is therefore a critical aspect for all cyber insurance professionals.
75% of organizations worldwide reported an attempted business email compromise (BEC) attack last year.
Cyber attackers often gain access to sensitive information, such as financial data, passwords, and personal information, through email security breaches. The consequences of a successful attack can be severe, leading to reputational damage, legal liability, and financial loss for your clients. By having a strong grasp of email security trends and best practices, cyber insurance professionals can evaluate their clients’ cyber hygiene posture and provide valuable guidance to help them select the appropriate insurance policy and vendor for their business.
Masterclass Learning Objectives: Email Security

Identify & explain key trends relating to email security & BEC attacks.
Give examples of best practices that your insureds should follow to mitigate the impact of attacks via emails; apply these to evaluate their cyber hygiene.
Explain what a catch rate is, how the cost of remaining risk is calculated and what these metrics can tell us about the efficiency of your insureds’ email security vendors.

Masterclass: Endpoint Detection and Response & Incident Response
2022-07-01 18:00 - 19:00 | Online Event
Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), also referred to as endpoint detection and threat response (EDTR), is an endpoint security solution that continuously monitors end-user devices to detect and respond to cyber threats like ransomware and malware. Because EDR extends protection to endpoints in a network, it plays an important role in a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy. With the increased frequency and cost of cyber attacks, underwriters are requiring proof that companies have robust protections in place. Among a plethora of baseline requirements for cyber insurance coverage is a tool many underwriters require before they consider covering an organization: Endpoint detection and response (EDR).
Masterclass Topics:

A complete A-Z on Endpoint Detection and Response and Incident Response
Non-technical, insurance-focused insights on threat detection and responses
Exclusive insight into malicious activity detection on the Crowdstrike Falcon platform
