80% of IT companies get support from top management for cloud-based cybersecurity initiatives. That’s far more than any other industry.

The P&C carrier has found that IT infrastructure investments allow it to support new sources of data, like drones and smarthome devices.

Nearly one-third of all data breaches in 2017 were due to internal sources, according to insider threat management company ObserveIT.

As many as 84 percent of cybersecurity professionals are either actively seeking new employment or would consider the right offer, says Wesley Simpson.

Despite greater awareness of cyber threats to their systems and customer data, most firms aren't confident they have the resources needed to put up a proper defense.

Carrier joins Citi, Kabbage, DTCC and HP in consortium to help fintech startups get better at data protection.

Insurers including AIG, Travelers, Liberty Mutual and CNA have announced new staff in roles that will drive tech innovation throughout the year.

Carriers will need someone who owns data at an enterprise level to ensure effective governance.

A new study shows that the most common concerns are the risk of unauthorized access, the threat of malware infiltrations and the inability to monitor the activity of employees.

Despite the massive increase in the volume of cyberthreats over the last two years, defense strategies are working better, according to a report from ThreatMetrix.

As the number of connected devices increases, so will the vulnerabilities that they are laced with, not to mention the potential impact these could have if exploited.

The technology has the potential to effect the industry's data usage, risk modeling practices and core systems, according to Novarica.

The rise of serverless computing, a bigger balance between cloud and local systems, and renewable energy adoption are among the priorities for a growing number of organizations.

If you are an owner of insurance technology ecosystems, and are wondering what to do, the answer is patch.

Nearly half of businesses have experienced a cybersecurity event, and three in five don't believe their staff are adequately trained.

Despite advances in machine learning, deep learning and artificial intelligence, cyber attackers are learning how to work around them, according to McAfee.

While human resources and finance departments are the easiest target for social engineering, tech workers pose the biggest risk to networks.

The major attacks included WannaCry, ExPetr, and BadRabbit, which all used exploits designed to compromise corporate networks.

Even though a majority of organizations have adopted or plan to adopt IoT technologies within the next year, many are still concerned about cybersecurity threats, says Peter Tsai.

Fewer than half of programmers are confident in the code they write and run, with 60 percent lacking confidence in the security of their applications, says Joe McCann.
