CYBER INSURANCE AND MFA

Protect your sensitive data with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Are you looking to purchase a cyber liability insurance policy? If yes, insurers are advising organisations to adopt Multi-Factor Authentication before taking out a cyber insurance policy to limit the potential damage caused by cyber attacks to your business.

Protecting sensitive data with multi-factor authentication (MFA) has become a requirement for many cyber insurance policies.

Why are cyber insurers requiring multi-factor authentication?

80% of data breaches involve the use of weak passwords or stolen credentials . Identity-focused security controls are no longer optional and insurance companies know that. Underwriters are requiring policy holders to implement MFA to reduce the risk of pay-outs on policies and ensure their profitability.

The cost of an attack vs. the cost of a policy

A malware attack can cost millions while the typical cost of cyber liability insurance is a small fraction of that , but only if you have the right protection in place to begin with. In a world where access is based on user identity, any additional layer of security pays off.
