Case Study: Qualifying for Cybersecurity Insurance
When It Seems Impossible
Rising Requirements for
Cybersecurity Insurance
Insurance providers across the nation have increased requirements for companies looking to obtain cybersecurity insurance. After cybercrime rose 600% during the COVID-19 pandemic, insurance companies are requiring companies seeking insurance to take greater measures to secure their organization.
For our manufacturing client, Cisco Duo was the best solution to both protect the organization from attack and meet insurance requirements.

How Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Helps
Cisco Duo gives organizations the power of MFA. Our client needed MFA at these five different levels:

92% of malware is delivered by email. MFA ensures that only the intended user has access to emails.

Remote Access
50% of workers now use a personal device for work-related tasks. MFA ensures only known users can access your systems.

Admin Access

Infrastructure
DDoS attacks will grow to 15.4 million by 2023. MFA can help ensure hackers don’t have access to your organizations’ sensitive systems.

Cybersecurity Challenges
Cisco Duo was selected over Microsoft MFA because it offered the most flexibility; it came with the ability to lock down internal resources with multi-factor authentication (MFA).
“The most difficult item was dealing with the individual users and the onboarding process. Passwords, download and walking through the process with inexperienced users were the most difficult aspects…but not overbearing. The technology deployment and setup of Duo were easy to configure, set up, and establish.” – IT Director, Manufacturing Company
