Marsh Report: Tabletop Exercises Reduce Cyber Breach Risk

Despite being focused on post-breach activities, cyber incident response planning has emerged as a key #cybersecurity control in reducing an organization’s likelihood of experiencing a #breach-related claim, according to a new report from the Cyber Risk Intelligence Center (CRIC) of Marsh McLennan. The report found that organizations who regularly engage in #tabletop exercises and scenario-based breach response drills are 13% less likely to experience a material cyber event than those that do not. The report also highlights the importance of effectively deploying and managing other key cybersecurity controls, such as #EDR deployment and #MFA that is resistant to phishing schemes. Marsh has long advocated proactive cyber incident response planning as a tool to help organizations effectively and efficiently respond to and recover from a #cyberattack. What our latest research confirms is that thoughtful planning also drives secondary benefits like positive security behaviors and strong control implementations, which help build more organizational resilience and reduce breach incidents.

Marsh: "Cybersecurity signals: Connecting controls and incident outcomes" "Which cybersecurity measures have the biggest impact on risk? The latest report from Marsh McLennan’s Cyber Risk Intelligence Center explores which cybersecurity measures truly make a difference in reducing risk. Our report also aims to advance the conversation about control evaluation within the cybersecurity community. Building on the foundation established by our groundbreaking 2023 publication, Using Data to Prioritize Cybersecurity Investments – which provided a data-driven, evidence-based analysis of cybersecurity control effectiveness – our Cyber Risk Intelligence Center has analyzed thousands of organizations’ cyber control implementations. The findings reinforce the importance of foundational cybersecurity practices – shifting the focus on whether a control is in place to how it is deployed. Our report will help you: Learn how the cybersecurity control landscape has evolved over the past two years to keep your organization’s practices current and effective. Gain insight into which cybersecurity controls are most widely adopted – and which are most effective. Focus on the top five control areas identified as most effective in lowering your organization’s risk exposure." #cyber #insurance #Marsh

#CMMC: More Than Just Compliance—It’s Cyber Resilience... Chuck Brooks, a recognized GovCon expert, recently shared a sharp analysis on the evolving Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) framework. His insights underscore how CMMC isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a strategic imperative for federal contractors navigating today’s threat landscape. 📅 Mark your calendar: November 10, 2025 This date is pivotal as it marks the expected rollout of updated CMMC requirements—impacting thousands of organizations in the defense industrial base. If you're not preparing now, you're already behind. Whether you're in risk, compliance, or IT leadership, this is your cue to revisit your cyber posture and readiness.

The most dangerous cyber threats are the ones you can't see. While organizations invest millions in cybersecurity tools, 83% still lack comprehensive visibility into their digital landscape. The result? Breaches go undetected for an average of 287 days, costing companies $4.5M per incident. This is the hidden cost of cyber blindness: 📌Fragmented security tools create blind spots. 📌Shadow IT operates outside visibility. 📌Threats evolve faster than detection capabilities. 📌Compliance gaps go unnoticed until it's too late. The solution isn't more tools, it's better clarity. At Claribel, we've worked with enterprises to transform their cyber posture from reactive to proactive. Our comprehensive visibility platform doesn't just detect threats; it illuminates your entire digital ecosystem, enabling you to: 📌Identify vulnerabilities before they're exploited. 📌Maintain continuous compliance with NIST, GDPR, HIPAA & more. 📌Make data-driven security decisions. 📌Reduce mean time to detection from months to minutes. Don't let blind spots become breaking points. Your cybersecurity is only as strong as your ability to see what's happening across your entire digital infrastructure.

🔐 Major cyber breaches in recent years have one thing in common: they could have been avoided with better foresight. 👉 MOVEit hack (2023) — millions of records exposed due to an overlooked vulnerability in file transfer. 👉 SolarWinds supply chain attack (2020) — attackers leveraged trusted software updates to spread malware. 👉 MGM Resorts ransomware (2023) — a simple social engineering call led to a multimillion-dollar disruption. What if these organizations had mapped their attack paths in advance? This is exactly what Threat Modeling does: -> Anticipates how attackers think -> Reveals hidden vulnerabilities in systems, processes, and third-party components -> Helps teams prioritize real risks before they become headlines At NeoSecure Consulting, we help businesses become secure by design and resilient by strategy. Because in cybersecurity, prevention is always cheaper than recovery. #ThreatModeling #CyberSecurity #RiskManagement #SecureByDesign #CyberResilience #NeoSecure #SupplyChainSecurity #InfoSec #CyberThreats #DataBreach #RiskAssessment #VulnerabilityManagement #CyberDefense #IncidentPrevention #SecurityByDesign #PenTesting #CyberAwareness #DigitalTrust #SecurityStrategy #CloudSecurity #ZeroTrust #SOC #BusinessContinuity #OperationalResilience #CISO #CyberRiskManagement #ThreatIntelligence #EnterpriseSecurity

🔐 Cybersecurity Is No Longer Optional The threat landscape is evolving faster than most companies can keep up. Attackers are smarter. The risks are bigger. And “good enough” security isn’t good enough anymore. The organizations that stand out are the ones that treat cybersecurity as a business priority, not just an IT function. Resilience, detection, and rapid response are now core to growth. 👉 Where do you see the biggest gap in cybersecurity today—people, processes, or technology? Let’s spark a conversation. #Cybersecurity #CyberResilience #InfoSec #RiskManagement #FutureOfWork

Think only big corporations need robust cybersecurity? Think again. Myth: Cybersecurity and GRC programs are too complex and costly for small and mid-sized businesses. Fact: 43% of cyberattacks target smaller organizations—and an incident can cost millions in downtime, fines, and reputational damage. Insight 1: Start with a scalable risk-assessment framework—document key assets, identify gaps, then expand. Insight 2: Leverage cloud-based compliance tools to automate audits, streamline reporting, and free up resources. Insight 3: Train every team member on security hygiene—phishing and misconfigurations still drive most breaches. By reframing GRC as an enabler rather than a checkbox exercise, even lean teams can build resilient defenses. Ready to rethink your approach and turn compliance from a burden into a strategic advantage? #CyberSecurity #GRC

Resilience is the new baseline. Cybersecurity has outgrown the old ‘defend and react’ model. Today’s environment demands more. 💥Threats are multiplying: from supply chain compromises to sophisticated nation-state actors 💥Compliance is intensifying: with new frameworks reshaping how businesses prove security maturity 💥Clients expect more: cybersecurity is now a business enabler, not just a safeguard For MSPs, this means security is no longer about adding layers of defense. It’s about ensuring businesses can adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of disruption. Cyber resilience is the difference between surviving an incident and turning risk into opportunity. Join Edouard von Herberstein, Founder and CEO of SPECTRA, Zach Atya, Head of Cyber Liability at Ledgebrook, and our own Andrew S., Field CISO, on a September 24 webinar to understand how to navigate the evolving risk landscape. https://hubs.la/Q03JjFRp0 #MSPs #CyberResilience #Cybersecurity #TrustedAdvisor #Compliance
