Cyber risk: Our prevention solutions

With their growing intensity and frequency victimizing companies of all sizes, ransomware attacks will continue to make headlines. In 2022, the number of cyberattacks increased, with 50% of companies subjected to between 1 and 3 successful attacks (CESIN – Information and Digital Security Expert Club, 2022 annual barometer).

In addition, 60% of companies in France experienced the repercussions of a cyberattack on their business. Every organization thus needs to face the reality of this risk.

In response to this exponential risk, our experts help companies adopt the best prevention strategies, select the right cyber insurance contracts and consolidate the documentation they submit to their insurers.

CyberMetrics: How to assess your company’s exposure to cyber risk

CyberMetrics is our comprehensive diagnostic tool, which examines threats to your information system. It analyzes your level of security, then develops a detailed, prioritized action plan designed to reduce your risk to an acceptable, controlled level. The goal is to evaluate your preventive measures, with full knowledge of the financial impact of a potential attack (ransomware or data leaks), and apply good practices so as to control your risk and offer better protection to your IS.

 

Our approach is simple and turnkey. It allows you to:

  • gain a clear view of your risk and your potential losses
  • identify any flaws in your cybersecurity strategy
  • obtain information allowing you to present a comprehensive analysis of your risk, both internally and to insurers.

We can help prepare your file for insurers, so you can get your first cyber coverage or improve your cyber insurability (conditions, rates, etc.). Access to cyber insurance will enable you to forestall the financial impact of a potentially devastating attack.

Throughout the support we provide, you will reap the benefits of the objective, external perspective and knowledge of an impartial and experienced technical team. Our solution also relies on the expertise of several partners and tools, all of them leaders in the cybersecurity sector.

Ransomware "Tir à blanc": Test your cyber vulnerability under real-life conditions

Our Ransomware "Tir à blanc" solution uses non-destructive ransomware to simulate the conditions of a real attack as closely as possible: it mimics a sophisticated ransomware attack on your IS without posing a threat to your company. Created in partnership with Holiseum, this ransomware includes all of the most sophisticated techniques potentially employed by attackers.

 

We will give your IS Director and IS Security Manager guidance in responding to this challenge, and provide you with this technical audit solution to measure your IS’s level of exposure and resilience to the specific risk of ransomware, without your being actually attacked.

At a time when cyberattacks are increasing in number, frequency and complexity, cyber insurers have become particularly attentive to their policyholders’ ability to protect themselves against ransomware attacks and to respond to that type of incident.

 

As a result, sufficient maturity concerning your company’s protection against ransomware is becoming a major issue.

 

Our "Tir à blanc" solution is adjustable and can be adapted to the specifics of your IT environment and your goals (number of patients, size and complexity of your IS, specific technologies, etc.). Whether you want to demonstrate the need to invest in IT security to your management or confirm that the improvements made in this area are effective, our Ransomware "Tir à blanc" can be tailored to your challenges.

Cyber insurance: Limit the effects of a cyberattack on your business

Even after you have identified the main weak points in your IS and implemented appropriate preventive actions, it is important to protect yourself against cyber risk (even once it has been minimized) by means of dedicated insurance. The fact is that attacks are making big technological strides, and there is no such thing as zero risk.

 

Cyber insurance covers the company’s direct financial consequences and the consequences of liability claims against the company following a loss of data, the transmission of a virus, a cyberattack, etc. It covers the cost of the associated expenses: fees of forensic experts and lawyers that specialize in GDPR issues, expenses for crisis management and notifications of data breaches, data reconstruction, financial sanctions applied by administrative authorities and losses of revenue or business, including for claims concerning the equipment and infrastructure used by employees working remotely.

 

More than just providing compensation in the event of an incident, cyber insurance provides:

  • Worldwide support in response to an incident, available 24/7
  • Complete coverage of consequential loss
  • Protection against your cyber liability
