Identify the market uptake and applicability of cyber hygiene models, particularly within small to medium enterprises, and relate this to current market practices in the use of cyber insurance policies and mechanisms as part of risk mitigation and management.
Project Details
The cybersecurity and information risk management marketplace abounds in "top ten" lists of risks, recommended strategies and tactics, and advice; yet the uptake and successful implementation of these measures across SMB / SME (less than 250-500 person) organizations is lackluster. Cyber insurance underwriting, too, is showing strains, especially in light of 2020-2021's ransomware and related siruption attacks reacinc pandemic-seeming proportions. This research forms the first part of a process to develop, calibrate, and use models of risk avoidance, management, and acceptance behaviors.
