While more organizations are increasingly concerned about their cyber risks, some are also struggling to understand their true vulnerabilities. Your business may also be uncertain whether its cyber insurance provides the right protection and optimal return on investment.

All these concerns are hitting organizations at the board-level.

Cyber incidents, particularly in the retail and hospitality sectors, are driving the severity and impact of sophisticated cyberattacks up C-suite agendas. High profile incidents are also putting pressure on risk managers to take control of cyber vulnerabilities while also managing costs.

Closer board-level scrutiny also means risk managers need robust evidence showing your cyberinsurance calls are the right ones to protect the business while delivering value.

This insight, based on our recent Outsmarting Uncertainty webinar How you can apply cyber risk analytics to inform risk management and insurance decisions, offers five ways you can use analytics to get ahead of both threats and board-level scrutiny of your recommended insurance strategies.

Through collaborative working across business functions, facilitated by analytics, better cyber risk cost management and more effective coverage are both within reach.
