News Highlights

• New security capabilities include Security Awareness Training & Phishing Testing, and Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace integrations.
• Enhanced unified security platform now addresses 66% of security risks that impact mid-to-small-sized businesses.
• World’s first InsurSec solution brings insurance and a unified security platform together to close the cybersecurity gap for businesses.

SAN FRANCISCO — 24 April 2024 — At-Bay, the InsurSec provider for the digital age, today announced new enhancements to its flagship security solution, At-Bay Stance™ – the world’s first integrated InsurSec platform designed to help mid-sized to small businesses address cyber risk head-on. At-Bay’s Stance Exposure Management platform helps to proactively address two-thirds (66%) of the security risks that impact At-Bay’s policyholders¹, such as email security, remote access, and misconfigured or unpatched systems. This is all done through a single unified security platform provided with every surplus cyber insurance policy placed through At-Bay.* 

“We believe the key to reducing cyber risk among mid-sized to small businesses is to provide them with a comprehensive insurance policy that also helps to proactively secure them against attacks with InsurSec,” said Thom Dekens, Chief Business Officer at At-Bay and General Manager of At-Bay Security. “At-Bay Stance keeps businesses ahead of the game by identifying, prioritizing, and mitigating the most critical security risks all through a single platform.” 

At-Bay Stance is an integrated InsurSec solution that reduces cyber risk among businesses by purposefully closing the cybersecurity skills and technology access gap. With the new features, At-Bay Stance now supports the workplace tools that 95% of businesses use.

• Security Awareness Training is now included with Stance Exposure Manager and empowers businesses to train their employees on cyberattack prevention, such as with phishing testing². Many mid-sized to small businesses aren’t doing cybersecurity training at all, and for those who are, it can cost over $14,000 per year³.
• Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace integrations. This feature alerts policyholders to critical email vulnerabilities that could put them at high risk of a breach. By helping businesses fortify their first line of defense with this new capability, At-Bay is helping to reduce the security risks associated with email, which represent over 40% of At-Bay customer claims. 

In a recent research study by Omdia, analysts found that a critical component of cybersecurity best practice today is the implementation and adoption of “proactive security solutions”. These solutions search for indicators of exposure and recommend and perform actions to eliminate or mitigate those exposures before they are exploited. 

Commenting on the study, Andrew Braunberg, Principal Analyst at Omdia said, “There is a clear expectation that proactive security capabilities will provide more value as part of an integrated platform. This requirement should drive both vendors and enterprises toward integrated suites of proactive capabilities that help to take a more strategic view of security solutions within the broader security stack.” 

At-Bay safeguards $800B of business revenue in the US from across more than 35,000 customers. For more information about At-Bay Stance’s security capabilities, and the new features which are now available to existing and new policyholders*, visit this link – At-Bay Stance Exposure Manager.
