Know your assets
Prevention, detection, response, and recovery all begin with knowing your assets.
Welcome to our 2022 Cyber Services Snapshot, a Beazley initiative developed to provide regular data and actionable insights around timely cyber themes.
In this edition we focus on how to protect against vulnerabilities from poor asset management.
External threats like data exfiltration often result from failures to focus on some of the building blocks of internal cyber hygiene. So this quarter, we’re focusing on cyber security from the inside out, examining how to protect against vulnerabilities from poor asset management.
Looking at our latest data, there is some good news to report: the overall incident volume we’ve seen in 2022 is currently on track to be significantly lower than in 2021. But even though incidents are down, severity and associated costs remain challenging – as does the false sense of security many organizations may be feeling right now. Our recent Risk & Resilience research revealed that although cyber remains the leading technology risk for business leaders, there is also a worrying degree of complacency around cyber risk management. Companies are not as well prepared as they would like to believe themselves to be. We see this particularly when it comes to asset management.
