There's massive room in the market for a security-first company that offers insurance as a guarantee.
This company would essentially operate as the security team for clients and put in contractually enforced policies and follow through on implementation. If a client decides to not implement required security practices, then their policy immediately gets dropped.
This is the only scalable way I'd see to implement real insurance against cyber-attacks.
- bitjson 7y agoOur startup is working on this problem, initially for the javascript ecosystem. We’re offering insurance against vulnerabilities in javascript dependencies: https://bitauth.com/ https://bitauth.com/ We have open source developer tooling for signing and verifying signatures of javascript packages, and we’re offering security as a service, backed by up to $1M in insurance coverage. We’re still in beta, but we’d love feedback from HN!
