Marsh McLennan (NYSE: MMC) has released a report from its Cyber Risk Analytics Center linking key cybersecurity controls to reduced cyber incident risks. The report emphasizes automated hardening techniques as the most effective control, making organizations nearly six times less likely to experience a cyber incident. It challenges previous insurance recommendations, highlighting that multifactor authentication (MFA) shows significant effectiveness only when broadly implemented. Additionally, patching high-severity vulnerabilities within seven days decreased the likelihood of incidents by a factor of 2, but only 24% of organizations implement this control. The insights aim to guide organizations in making informed cybersecurity investments, positively influencing their stance in the cyber insurance market.
