Why are cyber insurers requiring multi-factor authentication?

80% of data breaches involve the use of weak passwords or stolen credentials.1 Identity-focused security controls are no longer optional and insurance companies know that. Underwriters are requiring policy holders to implement MFA to reduce the risk of payouts on policies and ensure profitability.

The cost of an attack vs. the cost of a policy

A malware attack can cost millions while the typical cost of cyber liability can range from $750-$8,000 per year.2 In a world where access is based on user identity, any additional layer of security pays off.
