$75 billion. That's the amount of money businesses, governments, and individuals pay every year to security companies. While some security companies provide good value, the reality is the number of incidents are still getting worse and more frequent. Hundreds of millions of people have had their personal information stolen, businesses all over the world are losing intellectual property, and financial fraud is in the billions of dollars. These stories are constant, seemingly never-ending, and customers are tired of it. They are even apathetic to the degree that customers are turning to cyber-insurance as an alternative to breach prevention. We know this because cyber-insurance is a thing. In fact, cyber-insurance is a skyrocketing business that is already influencing every area of the information security industry. This rise of cyber-insurance has also provided a new way for security vendors to help their customers. A way for them to make a real positive impact, differentiate themselves, and align their incentives to that of their own customers - I'm talking about security guarantees.
