Case Study: Leading Biosciences Company achieves verifiable security control effectiveness and lower cyberinsurance premiums with AttackIQ

Leading Biosciences Company Demonstrates Security Control Effectiveness and Reduces Insurance Premiums Using AttackIQ

Leading Biosciences Company faced a critical challenge when its cyberinsurance underwriter required verifiable, frequent proof that security controls were effective; the Director of IT Security needed documented, technical evidence to answer complex legal and insurer questionnaires. The team turned to AttackIQ and its Security Optimization Platform to validate controls across firewalls, endpoints and data repositories and to provide auditable, repeatable test results.

Using the AttackIQ Security Optimization Platform to run breach-and-attack simulations and continuous control validation, the company produced technical evidence that preserved its insurance coverage, enabled the legal team to negotiate lower premiums, and saved millions of dollars in risk and vendor costs. AttackIQ also reduced the need for a full-time red team, delivered immediate savings during XDR validation, and supplied board-ready metrics and reports that improved program maturity and decision-making.
