Why Cyber Insurance Fails When Security Hygiene Is Poor

⚠️ Cyber insurance has become a boardroom staple, but it often creates a false sense of protection. Policies limit financial exposure but are not a blank check: insurers increasingly require documented controls and may reduce, delay, or deny claims when basic security hygiene—patching, access controls, logging, MFA, or incident readiness—is lacking. Relying on coverage without fixing these foundational failures leaves organizations exposed to financial, operational, and reputational harm.
