У страховій галузі дані - це більше, ніж просто інформація, це зобов'язання щодо захисту. Оскільки цей сектор багатий на особисту та фінансову інформацію, він є привабливою мішенню для кіберзлочинців. Перед страховиками стоїть подвійне завдання: захистити свої власні операції, а також конфіденційні дані незліченної кількості страхувальників. Саме тут вступаємо ми.

Ми в A-listware розуміємо цю реальність і пропонуємо рішення з кібербезпеки, адаптовані до конкретних потреб і регуляторних стандартів страхового сектору. Наш підхід полягає не просто в усуненні вразливостей, а в перетворенні кібербезпеки на стратегічну перевагу. Посилюючи цифровий захист та підвищуючи стійкість, компанії, що випускають поліси, можуть підвищити довіру, стимулювати зростання та бути стійкими перед обличчям кіберзагроз!

Тож чи готові ви підвищити рівень безпеки? Дізнайтеся, як програмне забезпечення зі списку А може зміцнити цифровий захист і вистояти перед обличчям кіберзагроз.

Типові загрози, з якими стикаються страховики

Кіберзлочинці завдають удару безшумно, залишаючи компанії в невіданні, поки не стає занадто пізно. Без надійної стратегії кібербезпеки страхові компанії схожі на фортеці з відчиненими воротами, вразливі для будь-якого загарбника. Наслідки кібератаки можуть бути катастрофічними, а шкода, як правило, незворотною. 

Ось деякі з найпоширеніших онлайн-ризиків, від яких компаніям потрібно захищатися:

• Фішинг: Ці злочини зазвичай вчиняються за допомогою оманливих електронних листів або повідомлень, які мають на меті обдурити співробітників і змусити їх розкрити критично важливу інформацію, наприклад, паролі для входу в систему або дані про клієнтів. Кіберзлочинці часто використовують їх для отримання несанкціонованого доступу до страхових систем.
• Програми-вимагачі: Хакери заражають системи шкідливим програмним забезпеченням, яке шифрує дані, роблячи їх недоступними. Потім вони вимагають викуп в обмін на ключ для розшифрування. Таким чином, для компаній у страховій галузі успішна атака вірусу-здирника може призвести до значних порушень у роботі.
• Витоки даних: Незалежно від того, чи це сталося через зловмисне вторгнення або внутрішні помилки, витоки даних можуть призвести до витоку особистої інформації клієнтів. Це може призвести до втрати репутації, штрафних санкцій з боку регуляторних органів та значних фінансових втрат.
• Внутрішні загрози: Не всі атаки відбуваються ззовні. Іноді співробітники або підрядники, які мають доступ до чутливих систем, можуть спричинити інциденти безпеки через недбалість або ворожі наміри.
• Просунуті постійні загрози (APT): Це довгострокові цілеспрямовані кібератаки, під час яких шахраї отримують доступ до мережі і залишаються невикритими протягом тривалого періоду часу. Зазвичай вони мають на меті викрасти інформацію, а не завдати негайної шкоди.
• Ризики третіх осіб: Страхові компанії часто працюють зі сторонніми постачальниками, які мають доступ до їхніх даних і систем. Якщо ці постачальники мають слабкі практики безпеки, вони можуть стати вразливою ланкою в захисті кібербезпеки компанії.

Розуміння цих загроз є першим кроком у побудові комплексної стратегії кібербезпеки. Завдяки досвіду A-listware страховики можуть протистояти цим ризикам і побудувати надійний захист.

Розуміння вразливостей вашої страхової компанії

У грі з високими ставками в кібербезпеці знання - це сила. Розуміння вразливих місць у цифровому ландшафті вашої компанії є ключем до побудови захисту від кіберзагроз. Як тільки ці прогалини в безпеці будуть виявлені, їх можна буде усунути, щоб підвищити стійкість вашої компанії.

Регуляторні стандарти комплаєнсу для страхових компаній

У страховому секторі дотримання регуляторних норм є ще одним важливим елементом діяльності. Йдеться не просто про те, щоб поставити галочку, а про формування культури довіри та демонстрацію прихильності до безпечного поводження з інформацією про страхувальників. 

Нижче наведені деякі з основних регуляторних стандартів, яких повинні дотримуватися страхові компанії в різних регіонах:

• Загальний регламент про захист даних (GDPR): Цей регламент Європейського Союзу встановлює суворі правила поводження з персональними даними і вимагає від страхових компаній повідомляти про витоки даних протягом 72 годин. Він поширюється на всі компанії, що працюють в ЄС, незалежно від того, де вони розташовані.
• Каліфорнійський закон про конфіденційність споживачів (CCPA): Це закон штату, покликаний посилити права на приватність і захист прав споживачів для жителів Каліфорнії, США. Він має широкий вплив на компанії, що працюють з даними жителів Каліфорнії, включаючи страхові компанії.
• Керівництво Управління з регулювання фінансової індустрії (FINRA): FINRA - це неприбуткова організація, уповноважена Конгресом США захищати американських інвесторів, гарантуючи, що брокерсько-дилерська галузь працює чесно і справедливо. Вона розробляє рекомендації щодо того, як фінансові фірми, в тому числі страхові корпорації, повинні поводитися з кібербезпекою.
• Директива про мережі та інформаційні системи (Директива NIS): Це директива Європейського Союзу, яка застосовується до операторів основних послуг, включаючи страховиків. Вона вимагає від компаній вжиття відповідних заходів безпеки для управління ризиками та захисту мережевих та інформаційних систем.
• Керівні принципи Валютного управління Сінгапуру (MAS): MAS випустив керівні принципи управління технологічними ризиками, зосередившись на управлінні, управлінні ризиками та стійкості до кібератак. Ці рекомендації застосовуються до всіх фінансових установ, що працюють у Сінгапурі, включно зі страховими компаніями.

Typical Cyber Risks Encountered in the Oil and Gas Industry

According to a report by Deloitte, 74% of U.S. oil and gas companies experience at least one cyber incident every year. The interconnected nature of this sector, coupled with its reliance on digital technologies, makes it a prime target for a variety of cyber threats. 

Here are some of the most common ones that this sector faces:

• DoS (Denial of Service) Attacks: The objective of these assaults is to render a device or network resource inaccessible to its designated users. This is achieved by causing a temporary or permanent interruption in the services of a host linked to the Internet. In the context of the power industry, a successful DoS attack has the potential to halt operations, leading to significant downtime and financial losses.
• Payment Card Skimmers: Cybercriminals often target payment systems used by oil and gas companies. They use skimming devices to steal credit card information, which can then be used for fraudulent transactions.
• Внутрішні загрози: These threats come from individuals within the organization, such as employees or contractors, who have inside information about the company’s security practices, data, and computer systems. They can cause significant damage, either intentionally or by mistake.
• DNS Hijacking: In such assaults, digital wrongdoers reroute inquiries to a domain name server (DNS), guiding users toward deceptive websites. This can result in the theft of sensitive data, including login credentials and confidential company information.
• Data Theft: Cybercriminals often target energy companies to steal sensitive data, such as proprietary information on exploration sites, drilling technologies, and production techniques. This information can be sold to competitors or used for industrial espionage.
• Email Phishing: Cybercriminals often employ this tactic, where they masquerade as a credible entity in an email to deceive individuals into disclosing confidential details like usernames and passwords. Such deceptive maneuvers can result in unauthorized system access and potential data leaks.
• Industrial Espionage: Given the competitive nature of the oil and gas sector, companies are often the target of industrial espionage. Cybercriminals, or even state-sponsored actors, may attempt to steal proprietary data to gain a competitive advantage.
• Web-Based App Attacks: Many power companies use web-based applications for various operations. Such platforms can become targets for digital offenders, who may breach security to access confidential information or interfere with processes.
• Point-Of-Sale Intrusions: Cybercriminals often target point-of-sale (POS) systems to steal customer payment data. This is particularly relevant for oil and gas companies that have retail operations, such as gas stations.
