The persistence and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to create cyber risk underwriting challenges: more organizations are having to decide between paying higher premiums, receiving reduced coverage, and rationalizing their cybersecurity spend. Carriers are requiring companies to have advanced cyber defenses to qualify for policies, excluding many from obtaining coverage. Falcon for Insurability allows carriers to provide the world’s most advanced AI-powered protection at preferred rates. With the Falcon platform, organizations can detect 96% more threats in half the time compared to other vendors, and conduct investigations 66% faster — significantly improving their ability to stop breaches. This reduces cyber risk for companies and underwriting risk for carriers, allowing more businesses to obtain coverage while increasing their cyberdefenses.
“As cybersecurity’s leader, CrowdStrike understands the nuances of cyber insurance, and we have a team dedicated to working with the cyber insurance community. Our AI-native cybersecurity platform is increasingly important not only to the security of the organization, but also its insurability,” said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer, CrowdStrike. “Falcon for Insurability empowers boards of directors and cyber leaders to take a more active role overseeing and comprehensively addressing a risk to resilience journey.”
