In today’s digital landscape, cyber insurance has become an important consideration. With this in mind, ESET has introduced its own Vulnerability Assessment (VA) and Patch Management (PM) capability. This falls under the company’s diverse ESET PROTECT platform.
Steve Flynn, Sales and Marketing Director at ESET Southern Africa, shared, “This product suite is aimed at helping businesses of all sizes to proactively detect and remediate security threats, in a timely and efficient manner. By lowering the risk of data breaches and other cyberattacks, while also focusing on other key areas of liability, the solution meets the prerequisites demanded for cyber insurance.”
When companies have policies that exclude specific security issues, businesses face the challenge of knowing how to protect critical data while meeting insurers’ requirements. Implementing vulnerability and patch management means your business is less likely to experience an interruption of business continuity or a breach resulting from an un-patched known vulnerability. “While cyber insurance stands as a rearguard precaution against acute risks, the best way to ensure these insurance providers will offer your business the protection you need is to implement a high-quality vulnerability and patch management solution. This is the solution that is ultimately your eyes and ears in respect of identifying vulnerabilities,” he further added.
