Insurers have raised the bar on qualifications
Cybersecurity precautions are critical to the safety and security of your organization, but they’re also critical if you need cyber insurance – and you do. But to get or maintain coverage, you need to prove your data is highly secure.
Today, insurers look for specific solutions aligned with a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) as conditions of receiving coverage.
What is Zero Trust?
A Zero Trust security strategy isn't focused on securing the perimeter – it's based on securing the identity. This is a credential user, who by default, is not permitted to see or do anything whether in or outside of the organization's network.
Users must be authenticated, authorized, and continuously validated before being granted access to applications and data. In short, a Zero Trust security strategy trusts no one. And cyber insurers love that.
Cyber insurance, digital identity, and Zero Trust
A Zero Trust Architecture limits lateral movement within a network by securing the identity rather that the perimeter. Whether or not you’re actively involved in procuring or extending your cyber insurance coverage, the solutions that come together to create a robust Zero Trust strategy are security best practices.
