70% of costs in cyber liability cases arise from careless employees. The insurance industry can use LUCY Software to run effective cyber protection and loss mitigation programs and solutions. The insurer can create added value for its customers that goes far beyond a cyber liability insurance policy.
Cyber liability insurance is becoming more and more established in the market. An analysis of the claims reports that have now been received shows clear patterns of attack: Professional attackers mainly use so called social engineering to gain access to company data and infrastructure. Phishing of passwords, mail attachments with malicious software and the fraudulent President-scam with manipulated invoices are the main focus of the attack methods.
It is obvious: people and processes are actually the weakest link in the chain. Experience also shows that in the event of an attack, small companies often know how to help themselves. Unfortunately, medium-sized companies have more difficulties. These are often only awakened by the cyber damage case.
Preventive measures in the area of cyber risk lead to a much better protection against cyber attacks importance of security awareness training, especially for medium-sized companies. At the same time the damage potential is considerably reduced. Insurers would do well to make such preventive measures available to their customers or even demand them!

The Security Awareness Program Framework (SAPF)
In addition to software support, LUCY also offers a modular system for building comprehensive cyber protection solutions. The SAPF guide allows an efficient implementation of a pre-project for the setup of an awareness program. The guideline can be used polyvalent. Whether the range of services is aimed at the cyber protection of insurance customers or employees is of secondary importance.
With its implementation focus on ‘Scope’, ‘Plan’, ‘Run’ and ‘Evolve’, the guide illuminates all levels of the company: normative, strategic and operational. This ensures the effectiveness of preventive measures in the cyber risk area effectively and sustainably.
The documentation of the framework includes a description of the individual processes necessary to build a cyber protection program. The documentation is provided free of charge by LUCY Security.
