With data breaches often costing millions of dollars, growing cyber threats like ransomware and phishing have cyber insurance providers worldwide looking to mitigate risk at every layer of the organization. Accordingly, cybersecurity education, awareness and training to better equip teams to prevent, detect and respond to threats is quickly becoming an expectation of many cyber insurance providers.

“Insurers can play a vital role in building cyber resilience by helping their clients avoid or minimize losses,” said Steve Whelan, director of management/professional liability and cyber insurance product development at Verisk. “Verisk is excited to work with Infosec, as it equips businesses with best-in-class cybersecurity training with role-guided cyber education for every employee.”

Insurers who license Verisk’s ISO Cyber Insurance Program will now be able to offer discounted cyber education to their customers with Infosec’s award-winning security awareness training and phishing simulator, Infosec IQ. By tailoring training to each employee’s role and delivering engaging content, organizations can help reduce cyber risks, boost employee security awareness and improve overall security posture.

“Even the most advanced cybersecurity technology is not a substitution for employee cybersecurity education. As insurers are looking to mitigate risk, a role-guided training program allows you to go beyond basic education and compliance requirements to give every employee the skills they need to stay secure,” said Jack Koziol, Infosec CEO and founder. “We’re proud to collaborate with Verisk to equip even more organizations and employees with the knowledge, skills and confidence to outsmart cybercriminals.”
