Attack Surface Management for Cyber Insurance

The Cyber Insurance Challenge

Attackers are targeting and successfully breaching your client’s networks and gaining access to sensitive data. Your portfolio risk and loss ratios are growing quickly. Your current methods of measuring that are not sufficient.

The sophisticated security teams in your largest policyholders understand how to protect assets they know about. The unknown and unmanaged assets are how the attackers are getting through.

Shadow IT, unmanaged cloud resources, faster software release cycles, M&A from years ago, new employees. Things change and things get lost at these large clients.

Your underwriters do their best using the tools they have, and the prospects and policyholders try to provide as much information as they can, but legacy solutions are simply not sufficient.

Raising premiums won’t solve the underlying problem. You and your clients need a better way of understanding attack surface risk in today’s dynamic cybersecurity climate.

CyCognito is here to help.

With its comprehensive visibility of the entire global internet, the CyCognito platform discovers, attributes, and classifies all known, unknown, and unmanaged internet-exposed assets associated with an organization – including those in cloud, partner, and subsidiary environments – that are critical to cybersecurity risk management in every company.

CyCognito can uncover these unknown assets during your underwriting process providing insurers need data-driven solutions that provide insight into the true cybersecurity performance and risk of applicants and policyholders, so they don’t get breached and you don’t pay unnecessary claims.

Beyond discovery, the CyCognito platform then automatically classifies and organizes the attack surface assets of a prospect or policyholder by their business context and relationship to the organization. We show underwriters which assets truly matter, hold sensitive data, and present risk. 

Finally, with no configuration required, the CyCognito platform begins actively testing the entire attacker-exposed IT ecosystem for attack vectors that could provide malicious actors entry into the most critical corporate assets of your prospects and policyholders.

Additionally, insurers can continuously monitor the insured client’s security performance throughout the coverage period to understand risk and alert the insured when potential threats or unusual activity are detected.
