Cybersecurity Insurance and MFA: Securing K-12 Against the Unknown
In this webinar you will learn:
- What cybersecurity insurance is and how it's calculated
- The importance of MFA, and why cybersecurity insurers take it into consideration when evaluating an organization
- How to build a strong security strategy for your K-12 institution
Cybersecurity insurance acts as a general line of coverage to mitigate losses and costs from a variety of cybersecurity incidents, including data breaches, network damage, and potential business interruptions.
To determine what coverage is necessary, cybersecurity insurers calculate cost based on a variety of risk-factors, including the security measures already in place, like MFA (multi-factor authentication). Cybersecurity insurers often look to MFA as an indicator of security safeguarding to validate the identity of your workers to establish user trust.
But MFA is more than just an insurance requirement checklist. As a K-12 organization, implementing MFA solutions into your security strategy can help you greatly reduce the risk of the most common user attacks like phishing, ransomware and other malware. And with continued remote access and remote learning, MFA has become even more important, enabling you to secure access to students and staff from any device, from any location.
Join Duo Solutions Engineer Eleanor Huber and Duo Security Specialist Jeff Dooley on this on-demand webinar to learn more about cybersecurity insurance, MFA, and how to build a strong security strategy for the future.
