Case Study: US Manufacturing Organization achieves cyber insurance approval and reduced premiums with SilverSky Lightning MxDR

SilverSky Supported Cyber Insurance Application

US Manufacturing Organization engaged SilverSky after discovering their existing security controls were implemented but not operationalized and were missing key capabilities required by their cyber insurance carrier — notably Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), vulnerability management, security training, and Managed Detection & Response (MDR). SilverSky assessed the gaps and proposed remediation using its Lightning platform, including Lightning MeDR, Lightning MEDR, Insight Vulnerability Scanning, Attack Surface Management, and Aware security training and phishing services.

SilverSky reconfigured firewalls, implemented zero‑trust controls, deployed MEDR on endpoints, installed continuous vulnerability agents, enforced MFA on privileged accounts and email, revoked unnecessary privileges, and launched security awareness/phishing programs, with all telemetry forwarded to Lightning MxDR for 24/7 monitoring and response. The result was insurer acceptance with reduced premiums and measurable operational improvements — continuous detection and response, faster vulnerability visibility, and stronger access controls — enabling the US Manufacturing Organization to meet its cyber insurance requirements.
