Partnership pitches ‘ first of kind ’ cyber insurance policies to US organizations
As cyberthreats increase in complexity and velocity , MDR is quickly becoming an essential requirement for organizations to manage their cybersecurity posture .
Most organizations are struggling to keep up with the evolving threat landscape , as evidenced by the 59 % of US . security defenders who say today ’ s threats are too advanced for their organizations to deal with on their own .
Cysurance , a next-generation risk mitigation company insuring warranties and certifying security solutions , has partnered with Sophos to provide unique , fixed-price cyber insurance to US based organizations using Sophos Managed Detection and Response ( MDR ).
The policies are the first of their kind to recognize organizations for having a layer of threat detection and response services . This is the latest in a series of cyber insurance partnerships for Sophos , which already this year announced deals with Cowbell and Measured Analytics and Insurance .
Kirsten Bay , co-founder and CEO , Cysurance , said : “ The lack of comprehensive and integrated security strategies largely explains why cyber insurance policy fees are rising while coverage limits are declining .
“ However , cybersecurity is a manageable challenge and Sophos can help . Together , we ’ re focused on helping organizations take responsible steps to implement proper cybersecurity to protect their business and digital assets .”
