As cyber threats grow in complexity and frequency, **cyber insurance** has become a critical component for organizations to mitigate financial losses from cyberattacks. However, securing cyber insurance coverage requires meeting strict security standards. Delinea’s **Privileged Access Management (PAM)** solutions play a crucial role in helping organizations meet these **cyber insurance requirements**, addressing key security controls that insurers demand to reduce risk.

One of the primary requirements for cyber insurance is having strong **access controls** in place. Delinea helps organizations enforce **Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**, ensuring that users only have access to the resources they need to perform their duties. By reducing excessive permissions and enforcing the principle of least privilege, Delinea minimizes the risk of unauthorized access, a key concern for insurers.

Cyber insurance providers often mandate the use of **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)** to protect sensitive accounts and systems. Delinea integrates MFA into its PAM platform, ensuring that privileged users must authenticate using multiple factors (such as passwords and tokens) before gaining access to critical resources. This additional layer of security significantly reduces the risk of credential theft, helping meet insurer requirements.

A core requirement for cyber insurance is ensuring that **privileged credentials** are securely stored and managed. Delinea’s **password vaulting** technology encrypts and securely stores passwords in a centralized vault, ensuring that only authorized users can retrieve them. Automated password rotation and expiration further reduce the risk of credential exposure, a critical concern for cyber insurers.

Insurers want to ensure that organizations have the ability to **monitor and audit privileged sessions**. Delinea addresses this by providing real-time **privileged session monitoring** and recording capabilities. This allows security teams to track, review, and audit the actions performed by privileged users during a session, ensuring that any suspicious activity can be quickly identified and addressed. These monitoring capabilities help meet compliance standards required by cyber insurers.

Insurance policies often require organizations to have a clear **incident response plan** in place. Delinea helps by enabling swift containment of security incidents through features such as **Just-in-Time (JIT) access** and automated privilege revocation. By limiting the duration of access to privileged accounts, Delinea ensures that compromised accounts are quickly contained, reducing the impact of breaches, which insurers prioritize.

Many cyber insurance policies require organizations to enforce the principle of **least privilege**. Delinea’s PAM solutions allow organizations to dynamically grant temporary access to users for specific tasks and automatically revoke privileges after the task is completed. By minimizing the standing privileges across the organization, Delinea reduces the attack surface and helps companies meet this critical insurance requirement.

Cyber insurance often mandates compliance with various **regulatory standards** such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Delinea’s PAM solution supports compliance by providing tools to ensure secure access to sensitive data, detailed audit logs, and reports on user activity. This visibility helps organizations maintain compliance with regulatory requirements, which is a key factor insurers consider when determining coverage eligibility.

To meet cyber insurance requirements, organizations must demonstrate that they have robust auditing and reporting capabilities in place. Delinea provides comprehensive **audit trails** and detailed logs of all privileged account activities. These logs allow organizations to prove to insurers that they can track, monitor, and report on privileged access, helping to meet audit and compliance standards.

With the rise of remote work, insurers are particularly concerned about securing **remote access** to privileged accounts. Delinea’s **Privileged Remote Access (PRA)** solution ensures that remote users and third-party vendors can securely access critical systems without relying on traditional, risk-prone VPNs. By applying strict access controls, session monitoring, and MFA for remote access, Delinea helps organizations meet insurance requirements related to secure remote work environments.

Insurers often require organizations to demonstrate that they have measures in place to mitigate **insider threats**. Delinea helps solve this by monitoring and controlling privileged user activities through **session monitoring**, **anomaly detection**, and **behavioral analytics**. These tools help detect and prevent malicious or negligent actions from insiders, which is a critical component of satisfying cyber insurance requirements.

Cyber insurance policies may require organizations to demonstrate the scalability of their security solutions as they grow. Delinea’s PAM platform is **scalable**, allowing organizations to manage privileged accounts across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. This flexibility ensures that as organizations expand, they can continue to meet insurance-mandated security standards without overhauling their security infrastructure.

Ultimately, cyber insurers want to see that organizations are actively reducing their **risk profile**. Delinea helps achieve this by securing privileged accounts, enforcing access controls, and providing continuous monitoring and auditing. By reducing the risk of unauthorized access, credential theft, and insider threats, Delinea helps organizations present a lower risk profile to insurers, potentially leading to lower premiums and better coverage terms.

In today’s cybersecurity landscape, obtaining cyber insurance requires more than just a basic security setup—it demands a comprehensive approach to protecting privileged accounts, securing remote access, and demonstrating compliance with stringent security standards. Delinea’s **Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions** provide the tools organizations need to meet these cyber insurance requirements, from multi-factor authentication and session monitoring to secure password management and incident response. By partnering with Delinea, organizations can enhance their security posture, lower their risk profile, and ensure they are fully prepared to meet the demands of their cyber insurance policies.
