Cyber Insurance

Unleash MFA 2.0 for next-level cyber insurance.

There are three main ways for an attacker to gain access to your systems:

1.

Phishing & stolen or compromised credentials

2.

A system vulnerability (unpatched or out of date software)

3.

Through the backdoor.

AuthN by IDEE will protect you against the number one cause of breaches (compromised credentials such as phishing and password-based attacks).

We will reduce your risk of a breach by 80%.
For everything else, you need insurance!

The 80% protected section is labeled 'AuthN by IDEE - 80% PROTECTED: All credential phishing and password-based attacks, including adversary in the middle (AiTM).' The 20% unprotected section is labeled '20% UNPROTECTED: Vulnerabilities, backdoor, privilege abuse, misdelivery, and pretexting.' The accompanying text explains that AuthN by IDEE protects against the number one cause of breaches—compromised credentials—and reduces the risk of a breach by 80+%.

Al & Dennis discuss cyber insurance and MFA 2.0 and ask the question, if AuthN by IDEE is phish-proof, who needs insurance?

All Businesses are at Risk of a Cyber Attack

No matter what size your business or industry, the risks are very real. You could be a freelancer working from your grandmother’s spare bedroom, or a business with 20 or 20,000 employees, anyone and everyone with an Internet connection is a legitimate target. Ransomware attacks are brutal and indiscriminate. The aftermath of an attack is very often fatal and can spell the end of business altogether - especially for SMEs.

Having a disaster recovery plan in place can be the difference between an uncomfortable (if not inevitable) misfortune verses a full-blown professional apocalypse.

Cyber insurance is the calvary, and for that, you need MFA 2.0.

Here’s How Cyber Insurance Can Help: What to Do After a Breach

The minute you detect a breach is the minute you need to engage your recovery plan. It should look something like this. If this looks daunting – cyber insurance is the way forward (because this is what it covers).

You Cannot Get Cyber Insurance Without MFA

Some things are just better off together. Macaroni & cheese, Beyonce & JZ, and, of course, Cyber Insurance & MFA! Insurance companies will not provide cover without MFA. But there’s a reason why cyber insurance and multifactor authentication is a winning combination (well there’s a few actually):

1.

Underwriters need to reduce risk, both for their customers and themselves. They need to support their customers’ in achieving the best possible security posture.

2.

Companies need to do everything they can to keep their IP, assets, employees, partners, suppliers, and customers safe as part of a robust cyber security strategy.

3.

The vast majority of attacks originate from phishing or stolen credentials, which can be prevented with the right MFA such as AuthN by IDEE (MFA 2.0).

MFA 2.0 is by far the most effective way to reduce or fully prevent phishing and password-based attacks, which is why insurance companies now require organisations to have multifactor authentication.

“Phishing accounts for 90% of ransomware attacks, and compromised credentials are responsible for 80% of all breaches - worldwide. Deploying MFA 2.0 is the most effective and proactive measure a company can take to combat adversaries in the fight against cybercrime.”
