“Large data breaches have led to pricing and capacity volatility
in the cyber insurance market, especially in the retail and health
care sectors,” said Thomas Reagan, Marsh’s Cyber Practice leader.
“Although companies are spending millions of dollars on
cybersecurity controls and capabilities, the effectiveness of these
investments is not always clear to underwriters. Through our
collaboration with FireEye, we can help clients provide the
objective and more detailed information that will help insurance
markets to better understand their risk profile.”
The Marsh Cyber OASIS process begins with an onsite assessment
by FireEye-Mandiant consultants, who, through a combination of
interviews and technical tools, assess and compare existing
security and incident-response capabilities, processes, and tools
with leading practices. Once complete, clients receive a
comprehensive report detailing their current state of cyber
security readiness with recommendations for improvement.
“After the massive, public data breaches that came to define
2014, data security has become a board-level issue and
organizations are moving quickly to better evaluate and manage
their cybersecurity risk,” said Jurgen Kutscher, vice president of
security consulting services at FireEye. “By working with Marsh,
we’re able to help evaluate an organization’s threat profile and
the efficacy of its current systems to provide recommendations on
how to improve the firm’s overall posture across the risk
spectrum.”
John Drzik, president of Marsh Global Risk and Specialties,
added: “Cyber OASIS is the latest in a number of offerings from
Marsh that are part of our commitment to combine insurance and risk
advisory expertise with best-in-class cyber specialists and
analytics to offer the risk management community the tools and
resources it needs to manage their cyber exposures.”
