How Insurers Evaluate Cyber Risk I Arctic Wolf

This Arctic Wolf/SC Media report explains the rapid evolution of the cyber insurance market, driven by factors like remote work and ransomware-as-a-service, and summarizes survey findings on insurer requirements. It defines three insurer risk profiles (basic, premium, elite), lists common controls insurers now demand (MFA, backups with 3-2-1 principles, patching, logging/monitoring, PAM, vulnerability management, endpoint monitoring, IR retainers), and shows how demonstrating these controls can avoid premium increases or produce reductions; the report also recommends using brokers to help applicants demonstrate security investments and select appropriate coverage.
