Cyber insurance as an industry is still in its early stages — but down the road, organizations can expect much more standardization. 

As insurance providers better understand the risk of insuring under-protected companies, premiums have risen and requirements have tightened. 

Organizations need to be proactive about their security programs before securing coverage. Chris Furner, Senior Sales Engineer at Blumira, and Wes Spencer, VP, Channel Chief at Fifthwall Solutions, will explain the evolving requirements of cyber insurance. You’ll learn:

  • How to determine whether cyber insurance makes sense for your organization
  • Security controls you need to be insurable now — and in the next few years 
  • The evolution of cyber insurance over the past decade 

This interactive, conversational-style session encourages questions and engagement with viewers – so sign up today for access to our security experts.
