We are proud to be one of the 37 organizations receiving funding from MSB (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap) at the beginning of 2025 to carry out a project that will contribute to higher cybersecurity for tens of thousands of Swedish small business owners. With this grant, we will simplify and improve the customer experience so that even more users easier can benefit from our alerts and reports, and take action based on the information they contain. With our broad customer base, we're confident that this initiative will contribute to strengthen Swedish resilience. A big thank you to MSB for the trust and for providing this boost to those of us who work every day to achieve greater cybersecurity and a more resilient society! #msb #cybersäkerhet

You know the old school TV's? So, they re-invented them and made them thin now - way smarter right? Well, they did the same thing with cyber insurances - smarter, that is. Now they come in sleek packages with the word "PROACTIVE" on the label - meaning they don't only cover when the damage is done, but helps you to prevent damage from ever happening in the first place. We see a tremendous potential for partnerships between insurance brokers and cybersecurity companies. Together they have unique insights into the threat landscape and the general status of cybersecurity, and can really make a difference for policyholders. Together, they bring unique insights into the threat landscape and the status of cybersecurity. They can identify which user behaviors lead to the greatest risks, how threat actors cause real damage, and which vulnerabilities matter most. But how does this work in practice? What is the benefit for an insurance broker? And what does it ultimately provide for the policyholder?

The Danish industry organization Forsikring & Pension highlights cyber insurance and the vulnerability of small businesses in a recently released newsletter. Pia Holm Steffensen, deputy CEO, notes a tendency among small businesses to underestimate cyber threats, as they often believe they are less attractive targets for criminal hackers. However, she reminds them that digital functions like invoicing and customer records still pose significant risks. In comparison to larger companies, Steffensen observes that small businesses often see cyber threats as just one more issue to address in an already hectic day-to-day routine – without the same capacity to act proactively as larger firms. While we acknowledge that we are biased, insurance companies that help small businesses by adding cybersecurity solutions to their existing policies make a big difference. Most small companies simply don’t have the resources to spend large sums on cybersecurity, or to hire consultants or dedicated staff to manage it. They need the support of a trusted security partner they can rely on. The article can be read for subscribers here: https://lnkd.in/e3uAxf76 #cyberinsurance #insurtech #cybersecurity

Last week, we were invited by LF Jämtland to the beautiful town of Östersund to discuss cybersecurity with local entrepreneurs. Our goal was to give them an insight into the world of cybercriminals without resorting to buzzwords or making things sound darker than they are – just straightforward facts. Together with John Bergström, we delivered a seminar that was both informative and highly practical, where we shared experiences and ideas. We covered not only how to protect oneself, but also how to ensure proper insurance coverage in case of an attack. Thank you so much for hosting us, LF Jämtland – we really enjoyed the experience! #cyberinsurance #insurtech #cybersecurity

Did you know that over 80% of people reuse the same password across different accounts? This means that if one password is leaked, all linked accounts are at risk. Given that breaches happen regularly, it’s crucial to monitor your credentials closely. To ensure quick action, set up alerts for your passwords. It's quick, easy, and doesn't cost a fortune. https://lnkd.in/dZRe34DN #cybersecurity

We recently came across an interesting whitepaper regarding cyberinsurance, published by Zurich Insurance and Marsh McLennan. As digital threats continue to escalate, affecting businesses in all sizes, both companies and insurance providers must rethink their approach to cybersecurity and risk management. Here are our key insights from this whitepaper: 📙SMBs are highly vulnerable. Small and medium-sized businesses remain underinsured (or uninsured), leaving them exposed to growing cyber threats. Many SMBs struggle with balancing resources for cybersecurity and often lack sufficient coverage in the event of an attack. 📙The cyber insurance gap is staggering. A $0.9 trillion gap exists between insured and actual economic losses from cyber incidents. This underlines the need for better risk management strategies and more comprehensive insurance offerings to protect against financial fallout. 📙Improving cybersecurity maturity is critical. Even smaller organizations must strengthen their cybersecurity awareness by training and testing employees. Improved cyber hygiene can significantly reduce exposure to threats and also lower insurance premiums. 📙 Strong growth in the European cyber insurance market is prognosed. The market is expected to expand from $2.8 billion in 2023 to $6.6 billion in 2027, driven by increased awareness of cyber risks and regulatory pressures. However, there's still a long way to go to achieve full coverage. At Safestate, we work tirelessly to protect SMB's every single day, mitigating risk and preventing damage. Together with our insurance partners we focus on spreading cybersecurity awareness, lowering risk, and in general securing our SMB's throughout Scandinavia. We see more and more insurance providers understanding the necessity of preventing damage and mitigating risk. Insurance providers wanting to stay ahead in the cyber arena cannot rely solely on managing incidents but must also focus on minimizing the risk of incidents occuring. #cybersecurity #cyberinsurance #insuranceindustry
