Deficient preventive security measures
Organization spend a great deal is reactive measures such as attack detection and response, antivirus, EDR or Incident Response. There are necessary spending but the budget is put on mitigating an attack instead of preventing it.
Cyber insurance firms turn down organization applications because they do not have adequate proactive security measures in place. Insurance agencies don't offer claims to businesses that don't safeguard their own networks and systems.
If an organization is unable to prove it can not only respond but avoid cyberattack, insurance companies will decline to offer them a claim or policy because they are extremely vulnerable to any type of assault.
Inability to quantify its cyber risks
Organizations have been quantifying their financial risks for a long time, but when it comes to cybersecurity, few perform Cyber Risk Quantification properly.
Organizations can prioritize cyber risk and budget appropriately if they comprehend its impact on business value. When assessing Return On Investment (ROI), it is also critical to determine whether a certain insurance policy is an optimal option.
By conveying its risk assessment in a quantifiable manner, an organization can give insurers the confidence that governance is mature and that the whole organization is committed to cybersecurity, not just technical expert.
