Cyber insurance has evolved from a simple “add-on” to a critical priority driving demand and attention on security practices. As underwriting requirements grow more technical and premiums continue to rise, MSPs and MSSPs are increasingly on the hook to prove their clients’ security posture—not just once, but continuously.

Identity has emerged as the new control plane for insurability. From phishing-resistant MFA to Active Directory hygiene, insurers are zeroing in on the controls that MSPs are often responsible for deploying, managing, and validating.

Join Brian Marks from Duo Product and Dustin Bolander, an expert in the cyber insurance ecosystem at Beltex, for an in-depth fireside chat. Together, we’ll unpack the shifting landscape of the insurance market, explore how agentic AI is influencing risk, and get the “why” and “how” of modern insurance requirements. and how you can turn these requirements into standardized services that reduce client risk and strengthen your value proposition.
