Consumers and Business Owners are Underprepared for Evolving Cyberthreats

riskacademy — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 20:58:58 +0000

As COVID-19 drives more Americans to turn to virtual or digital business interactions, cyber criminals have found fertile hunting ground for new opportunities to exploit weaknesses. According to a new Nationwide Agent Authority survey, many American consumers and businesses are dangerously underprepared to defend against common and evolving cyberthreats.

“Our survey highlights concerning vulnerabilities for consumers and small business owners, many of whom may be more focused on keeping their family or business afloat in tough times, as opposed to guarding against cybersecurity threats,” said Catherine Rudow, Vice President of Cyber Insurance for Nationwide. “It’s encouraging that middle market business owners appear to be more attune to risks and are proactively preparing their defense. But regardless of the type of client, now is an important time for insurance agents to talk to their customers about cybersecurity solutions and best practices.”

Nationwide’s research uncovered four key themes:

Small business owners are underprepared and overconfident
Middle market business owners have a better handle on cyberthreats
Consumers underestimate…

Rapid7 Fails To Take Advantage Of Long-Term Tailwinds (NASDAQ:RPD)

riskacademy — Sat, 25 Jul 2020 13:13:52 +0000

Investment thesis

IT trends come and go, but cybersecurity is poised to stay as every company is turning into a software company. A name that will benefit from this mass migration is Rapid7. But is it a wise investment?

Founded in 2000, it has been growing at a steady pace and developed cybersecurity solutions across the entire IT environment. Today, it is a leader in vulnerability risk management (‘VRM’), rubbing shoulders with Qualys (QLYS) and Tenable (TENB), and also in security information and event management (‘SIEM’), competing with FireEye (FEYE) and Splunk (SPLK).

While the market is hyper-competitive, the pie grows rapidly. To capture further growth, Rapid7 has recently acquired DivvyCloud (May 2020). This move promises to solidify its position within Cloud Application Security and helps to multiply its total addressable market to $34B from $9B. From the macro perspective, major opportunities abound.

Despite the top position accolades and apparent tailwinds, we wonder if Rapid7 will sustain its 30%+ growth, or achieve economies of scale quickly enough to stay at the top. Having been around for 20 years, it is still a relatively small company with $350M in…

Freddie Knight

Business Leader recently spoke to Freddy Knight – the Innovation Director for one of the UK’s leading cyber insurance providers, Optimum Speciality Risks (OSR) – to discuss how his innovative company is disrupting the industry, and helping businesses prepare themselves against future risks.

Can you tell us about OSR?

OSR was founded in 2018 and rebranded and relaunched in 2019, following my arrival as Innovation Director to launch our SME product, Optimum Cyber Plus.

Optimum Cyber Plus is a unique insurance offering and was created to help make the premium cyber insurance and cybersecurity solutions bought by large, corporate organisations accessible to local insurance brokers and their SME clients.

Until its release in 2019, small business owners in the UK had to choose between two realities; Pay hefty premiums for comprehensive cyber insurance solutions that, in most cases, were totally out of proportion to the rest of their insurance/risk management spend, or pay a more reasonable premium for a budget solution which, in the majority of cases, were lacking in appropriate coverage, response services and risk management capabilities.
