- Arctic Wolf released the Arctic Wolf Cyber Resilience Assessment to help organizations improve cyber resilience and insurability.
- The tool maps security posture against industry-standard frameworks and provides a transparent scoring system for easy evaluation.
Arctic Wolf has launched the Arctic Wolf Cyber Resilience Assessment, a risk assessment tool aimed at assisting organizations in enhancing their cyber resilience and improving insurability. The tool is part of the Arctic Wolf Security Journey program, which helps customers assess, mitigate, and transfer risk effectively. Cyber resilience is crucial for overall business resilience, especially when it comes to obtaining cyber insurance. A significant number of organizations require a risk assessment to qualify for cyber insurance due to the expanding threat landscape.
One of the key challenges in the industry is the lack of standardized risk measurement against established cybersecurity frameworks like NIST and CIS. The Cyber Resilience Assessment helps in quantifying cyber risk, making it easier for leaders to provide an objective overview of cyber risk to insurance carriers and non-technical stakeholders. The tool also aligns with the newly added GOVERN function in the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, emphasizing the importance of cybersecurity risk management strategy.
Arctic Wolf Cyber Resilience Assessment allows organizations to understand how governance activities rank relative to other cyber risks, track security posture, and share assessment findings with stakeholders, including insurance carriers. By mapping security posture to industry standards and providing a transparent scoring system, organizations can effectively evaluate security hygiene and understand how cyber risk affects insurability.
The tool includes features such as industry standard framework mapping, Arctic Wolf insurability rating, and dynamic risk ranking and prioritization. These features enable customers to map security posture against industry-standard frameworks, improve insurability, and prioritize areas of risk for mitigation effectively.
Overall, the Arctic Wolf Cyber Resilience Assessment aims to assist organizations in advancing their business resilience and insurability through an innovative approach to security operations.
