📈 “The severity of these indirect ransomware attacks has increased quite a bit,” warns Adam Tyra, General Manager of Security Services at At-Bay. In our recent Stance Sessions about third-party risk, Adam highlighted a concerning trend: attacks on commonly used technology systems are severely impacting the businesses that use them. We’ve seen a trend in threat actors looking for opportunities to target vendors that many companies rely on. By compromising these central providers, attackers create widespread outages. This strategy increases the urgency for ransom payments and allows criminals to demand higher amounts. As cyber threats evolve, it's critical to scrutinize not only your own security, but your vendors' security too. Want to dive deeper? Watch the full webinar to learn more about how ransomware has evolved and how businesses can mitigate their risk.👉 https://lnkd.in/d2zPkE59

At-Bay's Director of Cyber Risk Modeling, Yoshifumi Yamamoto, Ph.D. and Jess Fung, recently spoke with Insurance Business America about our report with Guy Carpenter “Small Businesses and the New Frontier of Cyber Catastrophe Modeling”. They discuss the current challenges in modeling cyber CAT for SMBs and propose a methodology to enhance model outputs by incorporating security control information. At-Bay provides an example, sharing data for 2 effective security controls (EDR and MFA), that result in a 17% reduction in CAT-only tail losses.
