I\u2019m delighted to share that today Sophos has announced a partnership with Measured Analytics and Insurance<\/a>, the AI-powered cyber insurance provider. This new partnership unlocks Measured insurance premium savings for Sophos\u2019s U.S.-based customers in recognition of their strong cyber defenses.<\/p>\n New Sophos research<\/a> published today reveals that 95% of organizations that purchased a cyber insurance policy in the last year report that the quality of their cyber defenses directly impacted their insurability:<\/p>\n The caliber of an organization\u2019s cybersecurity defenses in protecting against active adversaries<\/a> is critically important when assessing cyber risk. Organizations need to properly configure and manage security technologies, and also effectively respond to threats \u2013 and that requires an expert talent skillset.<\/p>\n Industry-first threat detection and response capabilities<\/a> enable Sophos to meet customers where they are and with exactly what they need to ensure superior security outcomes. This partnership is validation that Sophos security solutions and managed detection and response<\/a> (MDR) services are industry best, and we\u2019re pleased that our customers can now be rewarded for their commitments to optimizing defenses.<\/p>\n The research revealed that insurance coverage also plays a role in an organization\u2019s ability to recover from an attack:<\/p>\n Sophos endpoint<\/a> customers looking to secure insurance coverage can now \u2018opt-in\u2019 to share their security posture from the Sophos Central<\/a> platform with Measured. A real-time security posture \u2018snapshot\u2019 is exclusively used to determine policy eligibility and premium discounts based on the various Sophos offerings used, protection status and security hygiene of protected assets, and compliance with Sophos recommended security policies.<\/p>\n The connection between robust cyber defenses and optimized cyber insurance makes this partnership a natural extension of our innovative, analytic approach to cyber underwriting. We are trailblazing a frictionless path to cyber insurability through data-driven, quantifiable underwriting. We\u2019re rewarding organizations that use Sophos with better coverage and lower rates because of their stronger cyber hygiene and lower risk profile.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0– Jack Vines, CEO, Measured<\/em><\/p>\n For more information on Sophos services and products, visit www.sophos.com<\/a>.
