Security operations company Arctic Wolf introduced its Arctic Wolf Cyber JumpStart portal. This free portal version allows businesses of any size to access a suite of cyber-risk management tools for identifying gaps in cybersecurity readiness and providing unique insight to reduce cyber-risk and improve insurability.
Initially launched in 2023, for the clients of insurance carriers and brokers, the Cyber JumpStart portal has grown to support a global network of authorized broker and carrier partners that in turn support over 40,000 organizations, worldwide. The Arctic Wolf Cyber JumpStart portal is purpose-built to help businesses on their security journey, beginning with cyber insurance qualification.
Powered by the threat intelligence data developed from the Arctic Wolf security operations cloud – and informed by insight, best practices and expertise from the Arctic Wolf concierge security team, the Jumpstart portal provides business leaders a cybersecurity starter package to review security posture, identify gaps, inform hardening activities, reduce cyber-risk and qualify for cyber insurance.
Features include:
- Cyber Resilience Assessment Lite options for mapping security posture against industry-standard frameworks such as NIST CSF 1.1, 2.0 and CIS Critical Security Controls v8, which present an agnostic, transparent rating system not reliant on proprietary risk assessment tools.
- Insurability Rating, within the included Cyber Resilience Assessment Lite tool. Leaders receive an integrated cyber insurance rating aimed at improving insurability and simplifying qualification and renewals.
- Incident Response (IR) Planner Lite, which supports collection of critical information needed to initiate incident response engagements.
- JumpStart Guides, which provides security resources and guided expertise on how to implement the security controls most often required to obtain and retain cyber insurance.
“When we first launched Cyber JumpStart Portal, we solidified our partnership with the insurance brokers and carriers on the front lines of delivering insurability requirements to their clients,” said Dan Schiappa, chief product and services officer, Arctic Wolf. “Based on the positive feedback and growing interest in the program, we are expanding access to businesses of almost any size, we’re inviting organizations to take the first step of their security journey to increase insurability and enhance risk management outcomes.”
Cyber JumpStart Portal’s expansion allows prospective customers to begin their security journey at no cost. Partners can use this expansion to discuss prospective customers’ cyber resilience and incident response plans as they begin their security journeys. For existing customers, Arctic Wolf will continue to deliver the experience via the Unified portal.
