At this week's Zywave Cyber Risk Insights Conference, we tackled a crucial topic for today’s security leaders: How can organizations identify—and deploy—the most impactful cybersecurity controls? In the panel, "The ROI of Effective Cybersecurity Controls," our U.S. Head of Underwriting, Sarah Thompson answers this question. Here are some of her key takeaways: 🔹 Know your value at risk. Going beyond a list of potential threats, she advises organizations to estimate the plausible financial impact of these risks to guide investment decisions. Quantifying these losses enables targeted, meaningful investment in controls that mitigate specific risks. 🔹 Adopting a risk-first mindset. Many organizations still take a “controls-first” approach, implementing controls without connecting them to specific risks. Sarah encourages shifting to a risk-first mentality, where controls are strategically selected based on how well they reduce quantifiable risks. This approach avoids wasted resources and ensures a stronger alignment between security spending and actual threats. 🔹 Prioritizing return on controls. In budget-constrained environments, maximizing the ROI on controls is essential. Sarah recommends evaluating controls by their effectiveness in reducing risk relative to their cost, allowing organizations to make high-impact security investments that stretch their budgets further. 🔹 Lessons from recent events. Reflecting on recent events, Sarah noted that stronger controls and well-rehearsed response plans could have minimized the impact of certain incidents. With evolving threats, even modest control improvements can significantly enhance resilience. 🔹 Rewards for High Security Posture. A strong security posture doesn’t just improve risk management; it can also lead to more favorable terms on cyber insurance. In a market that rewards proactive risk management, a well-defined security posture is an asset when it comes to underwriting and premium reductions. Separately, our Global Head of Claims, Jeremy Gittler, moderated a panel called "Back in Action: Reducing Friction in Response and Recovery," where he oversaw an expert discussion on the collaborative efforts to restore systems quickly after wide-scale cyber incidents. Thank you, Sarah and Jeremy, for contributing to these incredibly meaningful conversations at this year's Zywave #CyberRisk Insights Conference.

Our Q3 data shows a 35% surge in cyber claims this year. Where does the spike come from? Here are the key insights from our recent claims data: 📈 Rising threats & shifting tactics: • The severity of Business Email Compromise (BEC) and ransomware attacks continues to rise year over year, with emerging threats in fraud transfer targeting new communication platforms. • A rise in transfer fraud claims signals that attackers are moving beyond email to social media and other channels to deceive targets. • What should you do? It’s critical to implement security awareness training that spans multiple platforms and integrates strict payment verification processes. 🏥 Sector-specific trends: • The healthcare, Manufacturing, and Transportation sectors remain top targets, with the healthcare sector particularly affected by ransomware and the CrowdStrike outage. • Distributed environments, like those in transportation, highlight challenges in coordinating updates across systems. With attackers expanding their reach, the need for adaptive security strategies and resilience planning is more urgent than ever. What other trends have you noticed?

When key vendors experience disruptions, like the notable #CrowdStrike outage, what are the best steps for damage control? Read our CEO, Vishaal 'V8' Hariprasad's latest editorial in Dark Reading for advice on how to make informed decisions that benefit you in the long run. 1️⃣ Don’t rush to switch vendors after an outage. While frustrating, it’s important to evaluate the vendor’s overall performance rather than react to a single incident. Consider their track record: one issue doesn’t erase years of reliability. Ask yourself if this vendor offers the expertise and communication your team can rely on in the long term. 2️⃣ When considering a switch, remember it's not just about finding a new tool. It involves onboarding, training, adjusting workflows, and potential downtime. Implementing a new system takes time and resources. Assess these costs against the impact of the outage to determine if the change will enhance resilience or disrupt your operations. 3️⃣ Base decisions on data rather than emotions. Before switching vendors, quantify the potential impact. Work with leadership to outline risks in relatable terms, such as productivity loss, financial costs, and overall risk implications.
