Managing “privileged access” to monitor credential usage behaviour and potential risks The majority of all cyberattacks are targeted at end-users. It’s often easier for cybercriminals to exploit a user’s lack of awareness, rather than targeting highly secured and encrypted systems. That’s why access control is one of the most important aspects of cybersecurity, and cyber insurance providers often check if an organisation has put in place common security controls to minimise risk. Among these are automating password management, protecting privileged accounts, limiting privileged access, and implementing multi-factor authentication. Making privileged access a core part of your strategy is one of the best practices that can help to demonstrate that you’re taking cyber security seriously. If we look at the list of cyberattacks from 2022 alone, more than half of all incidents are due to credential leaks. It is becoming increasingly important to regulate who has access to your data and devices, particularly in larger organisations, where data is often stored in layers and different databases are managed by different departments. When access is not restricted, a single credential leak could expose the entire system. Access control acts as a doorway between attackers and the core information system. Efficient access management can restrict attackers from inflicting significant damage, or even prevent such attacks entirely. Privileged access management doesn’t only help build cyber insurance readiness, but it’s beneficial for the company as a whole. Large clusters of privileged credentials pose a serious threat to business networks. Having an automated solution that authenticates and assesses credential access in real-time can significantly reduce the risks of a security breach. It also helps to efficiently set up and manage different levels of access to cloud platforms, including authentication, authorisation, and monitoring. For example, if a user is not authorised to access a certain file or segment on the network, the PAM software can instantly report the incident and suspend all access, eliminating certain cyberattacks or data breach attempts before they turn into a cyber catastrophe. In short, PAM solutions designate special access to internal users of organisations to secure their applications and network infrastructure. If a standard user can gain access to private or confidential data this becomes a security threat, which is why privileged access management is critical for a company’s network security. Such solutions can protect companies from both internal and external threat actors, by monitoring all administrative access and reporting any unusual behaviour. When it comes to getting insured, you’ll have to play the convincing game. Insurance providers need to be assured that your organisation is more than capable of defending against potential threat actors and security incidents, and PAM solutions go a long way in providing that assurance.

Why cyber insurance matters? Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly common and frequent. By having any aspect of your business on the cloud, you are attracting hundreds of illicit threat actors who want to exploit your valuable data and information. Having cyber insurance can give businesses financial security against such threats in the digital space. Access control management doesn’t just reduce the risk to your business from internal and external threat vectors, but also allows organisations to meet eligibility requirements for financial protection if the worst happens and a breach does occur.
