Sophos partners with Measured Analytics and Insurance

After announcing a partnership with Cowbell, Sophos, a provider of cyber security solutions, is announcing a partnership with another cyber insurance provider – Measured Analytics and Insurance.

The new partnership “unlocks” Measured insurance premium savings for Sophos’ US-based customers “in recognition of their strong cyber defenses.” Sophos endpoint customers looking to secure insurance coverage can now ‘opt-in’ to share their security posture from the Sophos Central platform with Measured. Real-time assessments are exclusively used to determine policy eligibility and premium discounts based on the various Sophos offerings used, protection status and security hygiene of protected assets, and compliance with Sophos recommended security policies.

“The caliber of an organization’s cybersecurity defenses in protecting against active adversaries is critically important. Organizations need to properly configure and manage security technologies and also effectively respond to threats – and that requires an expert talent skillset. Industry-first threat detection and response capabilities now enable Sophos to meet customers where they are and with exactly what they need to ensure superior security outcomes. This partnership is validation that Sophos security solutions and managed detection and response services are industry best, and we’re pleased that our customers can now be rewarded for their commitments to optimizing defenses.” – Raja Patel, senior vice president of products at Sophos.

“The connection between robust cyber defenses and optimized cyber insurance makes this partnership a natural extension of our innovative, analytic approach to cyber underwriting. We are trailblazing a frictionless path to cyber insurability through data-driven, quantifiable underwriting. We’re rewarding organizations that use Sophos with better coverage and lower rates because of their stronger cyber hygiene and lower risk profile.” – Jack Vines, CEO at Measured.
