I spotted this and wanted to make sure to note it. From CRN India:
Tenable, the Exposure Management company, announced it has added a Cyber Insurance Report within its Tenable Vulnerability Management solution, which summarizes exposure information relevant to cyber insurance providers in an effort to streamline the policy underwriting process for both insurers and customers. The Tenable Cyber Insurance Report will enable insurers, for the first time, to measure preventive security programs by sharing vulnerability data that resides within the firewall.
Tenable has also partnered with Measured Analytics and Insurance on a referral program that provides qualifying Tenable customers with savings on cyber insurance policies. The relationship represents a new data-driven model for the cyber insurance business, with tangible savings offered to customers.
Why do we care?
Software plus insurance. One more example of the trend. In this case, the critical element is that the software is built intending to be an input to the insurance process. You can see the marketing now – one-click certification for your insurance provider. The next logical step here is continuous monitoring and policy enforcement via software.
How soon until this is table stakes for insurance? As quickly as insurance companies can get there.
