Why security pros have to work more closely with cyber insurers

Cyber insurance is vital in a company’s cybersecurity strategy, providing financial assistance for expenses incurred due to cyberattacks. As such incidents increase, insurance companies are taking more proactive measures in managing cyber risk, such as performing active scanning and ongoing risk monitoring. Cybersecurity professionals need to align their strategies with insurers’ assessment criteria and use them as potential sources of intelligence. By so doing, better risk management and protection are achievable.
