What Your Cyber Insurance Actually Expects From Your Network

Cyber insurance isn’t optional anymore—it’s part of doing business. But many Montana companies don’t realize how strict the new policies have become. Underwriters now require proof that your systems are secure before they’ll even issue or renew coverage.

At Big Sky Wired, we help local businesses prepare their networks to meet these new standards.

1. A Managed Firewall With an Active License

If your firewall’s subscription has expired, your protection has too. Firewalls like Fortinet and SonicWall require active threat updates and logging to meet insurance standards.

2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Email, remote desktop, and admin logins must all have MFA enabled. It’s one of the simplest and most effective security controls.

3. Regular Software & Firmware Updates

Unpatched systems are the #1 cause of breaches. Our managed IT plans include regular firmware updates across all network devices.

4. Backup and Recovery

Insurers require a documented backup and recovery process. We help businesses set up cloud and local backups to protect against data loss.

5. Logs, Monitoring, and an Incident Response Plan

You’ll need to show access logs and have a defined process for responding to an incident. Our network monitoring helps ensure that’s covered.

Bottom Line:

Cyber insurance doesn’t replace cybersecurity—it enforces it. With Big Sky Wired’s managed services, you’ll stay compliant, secure, and ready for renewal.
