Safe Security Brings Ground-Breaking Technology to Cyber Insurance Underwriting
Standard practices in underwriting have been stuck in the past with the primary tools 1) outside-in security assessments for a limited view of an organization’s controls and 2) questionnaires yielding a point-in-time, subjective view of security posture.
Safe Security’s groundbreaking technology non-intrusively assesses cyber risk on an inside-out, continuous basis to better understand an organization’s breach likelihood across a variety of cyberattacks, the quantified financial exposure of each attack, and the security gaps that could impact overall cyber risk exposure and underwriting.
