Insurance broker and risk advisor Marsh revealed that US cyber insurance premiums rose by an average of 11% in the first quarter of 2023, and Delinea reported that 67% of survey respondents said their cyber insurance costs increased between 50% and 100% in 2023.

Reinforcing Active Directory security is one way to protect an organization's critical infrastructure and manage or even potentially reduce the costs of cyber insurance.

What cyber insurers' look for in Active Directory security.

Insurers understand that a well-secured Active Directory can drastically reduce the likelihood of a successful cyber-attack and often require evidence of your organization's robust Active Directory security measures before they offer coverage.

To effectively address evolving cyber threats and reduce your organization's cyber insurance-related financial risks, prioritize your Active Directory security.

Strengthening your cyber defenses - by implementing comprehensive security measures like regular audits, robust access control, and proactive patch management - will not only boost your cybersecurity but will also ensure your Active Directory is well-secured, helping you obtain critical cyber insurance coverage.
