Committee cites multi-factor authentication and policy updates when discussing cyber liability coverage
Summary
Committee members said cyber liability coverage is pending, noted new policies and that a multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirement implemented last year helped with ransomware insurance eligibility.
Committee members flagged cyber liability coverage as still pending and discussed how recent security practices affect the county's insurance posture. A member noted the multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirement instituted the prior year helped make the county more insurable against ransomware, even as they grumbled about the added steps.
"That MFA that they instituted a year ago and stuff that helped us at least ways with ransomware for insurance," a participant said, noting the measure was necessary to secure coverage. Staff confirmed cyber liability paperwork was outstanding and expected to be straightforward once policies and proofs of controls were submitted.
The committee did not formalize a separate cyber-insurance action at the meeting; members emphasized continued attention to cyber controls and planned to provide policy documentation to the insurer as requested.
