Post-incident, organizations – even those who thought they were prepared – are amazed by what the threat actors did. At Beazley, we have strong vendor relationships, and we can put insureds in contact with resources and tools to help them make smart decisions, before or during an incident.Susanna BrazziniAssistant Cyber Services Manager
Organizations frequently overestimate how prepared they are for a sophisticated attack. In times of crisis, Beazley is standing by to provide education about the latest threats, connect insureds with leading security experts, or offer our collective purchasing power to help insureds utilize aggressive discounts with industry-leading solution providers.
But perhaps our biggest value lies in the fact that over the years, we have seen it all.
We’ve seen issues with companies running different versions of Microsoft Exchange across a number of the organization’s servers. From errors in deploying some of the updates to installation errors for important security updates that don’t get caught, we’re able to advise insureds about how opportunistic threat actors could leverage these assets.
We’ve also seen cases where organizations migrated to O365 but forgot to decommission their on-premises Exchange server or restrict its access to the internet. Consequently, we advise insureds that when legacy assets are no longer in use, they should be decommissioned or at the very least, isolated.
