Which cybersecurity risks does Cyber Insurance Policy mitigate?
Where does Cyber Insurance Policy fit in a CISO program?
Cyber insurance is the financial backstop. It pays for IR services, ransom payments, customer notification, regulatory defense, and business interruption. Modern carriers require attestable controls (MFA, EDR, immutable backups, IR retainer) before binding coverage; falsified attestations on the application can void the policy at claim time. Cyber Insurance Policy is one product in this layer. Real-world programs treat insurance as the layer of last resort — premiums and sub-limits have tightened sharply post-2021, and underwriters now actively review controls.
