Should MSSPs Invest in Cyber Insurance?
Cyber insurance is becoming exceedingly important to businesses and consumers alike. As advanced cyber threats increase the risk of information and financial losses, the demand for cyber insurance may rise in the years to come.
The global cyber insurance market is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28 percent between 2016 and 2022, according to market research firm Allied Market Research. Also, Allied has projected that this sector could be worth $14 billion by 2022.
Some MSSPs have already incorporated cyber insurance into their offerings as well.
AsTech, a San Francisco-based cyber risk management company, this month unveiled Vigilance for Managed Qualys Services, a $1 million guarantee for securing perimeter networks on the Qualys Cloud Platform. Vigilance is available as part of AsTech's managed services subscription and ensures Qualys Cloud Platform vulnerabilities are found and highlighted in a prioritized report, the company stated.
