Re: CrowdStrike issues. If what CrowdStrike is saying is accurate and this is not a cyberattack, coverage may be limited for most impacted orgs (airlines, NHS, etc). A software update rolled out with bugs is not what many of these cyber policies are covering (per explicit contract language) That said, we can expect CrowdStrike’s professional liability coverage (assuming they have it) to get exhausted quickly. I wouldn’t want to be on that coverage tower…

Before you purchase your next cybersecurity liability insurance policy, consider a Halcyon license. Halcyon is designed to stop Ransomware payloads cold and provides key recovery and, now, data exfiltration protection. Gallagher insurance, and others, think so much of Halcyon, they are offering up to a 30% policy discount if customers install Halcyon. That could pay for most/all of the license and guarantee you complete protection. Smart move!

New #malware bypassing credentials and infecting SOHO routers. This malware, named #Cuddlefish, sits in your home or office router and sniffs for credential information that moves through it. It's unclear how to get rid of this malware from the article, but it is suggested you monitor your routers for strange traffic and rogue logging of information. Changing passwords, updating the firmware, and resetting the router could help to get the malware off the router. Also, retire legacy routers that no longer are supported. https://lnkd.in/g73sB2F2 #hack #hackernews #cyber #cyberinsurance #network #cloud #cloudsecurity BleepingComputer Dave Tuckman - CISM, CISSP, CCISO, CvCISO, CDPSE, etc.

Why would you wait for insurance payouts to come through when you need money right away DURING a cyber incident? You might need to buy new equipment right away, start pricy forensic analysis, and then recovery costs. And while insurance should cover all of that (if you have the right sized policy to cover your potential liability), it doesn’t help you on Day 1. Cyber warranties provide you with money ASAP when you’re experiencing a cyber incident. It will also cover your deductible! A law firm recently benefited from their cyber warranty - they had money that day, in hand, and were able to cover immediate costs and protect their cash flow.

“Blue Screen of Death”   When I heard today's news, I immediately thought it was the biggest cyberattack ever and wondered who was behind it. However, it became clear that the disruption was caused by CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity company associated with Microsoft. It immediately raises the question about whether they have appropriate Tech PI insurance for such incidents.   Tech PI, or Professional Indemnity insurance for tech professionals, safeguards against claims related to errors, omissions, or professional negligence in the technology sector. It covers legal defence costs and settlements or judgements in cases where a client alleges that a technology service or product failed to meet expectations, caused damage to a property or business, or led to financial losses. It also covers technology-related risks such as software defects, hardware failures, network outages, data breaches, and intellectual property infringement.   Crowd Strike is one of the companies who need this insurance exactly for events like what happened today.   The cybersecurity company acknowledged that the disruptions stemmed from “a single content update for Microsoft Windows hosts”. They have confirmed that “the issue has been identified, isolated and a fix has been deployed”, yet the effects are still impacting airports, healthcare services, among others. The story is still developing.   It is beneficial for the impacted organizations to have (tested) Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Plans in action.   We witnessed the incidence first-hand: no one is safe. The reality must be confronted, emphasizing robust risk management, which should also consider insurance options. The Tech PI insurance protects a company that makes a mistake or forgets to do a critical task that hurts a client financially. These mistakes could range either from recommending inappropriate technology or solution to failing to meet project deadlines. Tech PI is one of the most important covers for any business offering a technology service or product; From software and hardware sales, app, and games developers to hosting and platform providers. Most companies today use technology as some part of providing a service or product. To ensure that a third-party claim is covered, a company should consider a Tech PI policy.

Here's what a few #cybersecurity professional said should be the priority if you only have a budget of $100. As one pro put it: "Purchasing top-notch products is only half the battle – the real value comes from being able to deploy and use them effectively, avoiding the pitfall of wasting money on unused capabilities.” To my fellow business owners: This means you need an #MSP...
