A Black Hat USA 2024 session recap details how cyber insurers are driving cybersecurity maturity through continuous, data-driven underwriting, large-scale vulnerability remediation, and prescriptive controls like MFA.

The piece underscores insurers’ growing role in notifying customers about exposures and shaping security practices.
