cysmo® Underwriting

Holistic risk assessment by means of an automated external view from the hacker’s perspective

With cysmo®, insurance companies can quickly and efficiently simulate an external attacker's view of the company to be rated. The information gained can be included in their risk assessment. In combination with the results of the questionnaire, this creates a comprehensive picture of a company's potential risk situation. The renewal process can be made more efficient thanks to the automation of cysmo®. The insurance company recognises the risk tendencies at first glance and can see whether and how threat situations change.

cysmo® Analytics

Early identification and avoidance of accumulation risks – even for large portfolios

With the API cysmo® Analytics even large portfolios can be analysed regarding their accumulation risks. Insurance companies can focus on the information provided by cysmo® that is relevant for their individual analyses (such as accumulations of providers, use of obsolete encryption methods or same software). Through comparisons with more indicators from other scenarios, the likelihood of accumulations being recognised early on increases, and suitable assessment or product measures can be derived. In addition, insurance companies position themselves as competent partners for their customers and business partners, helping them to significantly minimise their cyber risks.

cysmo® Reports

Insurance consulting and monitoring service for individual risk assessment

Customer reports in PDF format that are generated at the end of a risk assessment record the risk assessment process and can be stored in data management systems – digitally or as (paper) files. In existing customer relationships, regularly provided reports serve as a monitoring instrument for both the customer ("How secure is my current IT from the outside?") and the insurance company ("What risks does my customer currently face?") and are a perfect customer loyalty instrument.
