A middle market financial services company in the U.S. faced significant challenges in strengthening its cyber resilience and accessing competitive cyber coverage amid a challenging insurance market. The organization recognized the need to benchmark its cyber security capabilities against industry peers and address existing gaps in its security practices. To tackle these issues, Aon collaborated with the company to utilize the CyQu platform for benchmarking and to conduct adversary simulations, which provided insights into how the company's controls would perform during a real-world cyber attack. As a result of Aon's tailored approach, the client gained a clearer understanding of its cyber security posture and was able to approach insurance carriers with increased confidence. This proactive strategy not only helped the organization secure a robust cyber insurance policy but also enabled it to stay informed about the evolving dynamics of the cyber insurance market. The implementation of the CyQu tool has positioned the client to strive for a top quartile ranking among its industry peers in cyber security assessments. Consequently, the organization has achieved access to appropriate coverage and competitive insurance costs, significantly enhancing its overall cyber resilience.
