Cyber insurance for Truro businesses
Truro's businesses have done the right thing and turned on multi-factor authentication, the extra prompt that confirms a login. Attackers have responded with a way to wear that protection down.
Where the risks come from for Truro businesses
In an MFA-fatigue or push-bombing attack, having stolen a password, an attacker triggers a flood of login-approval prompts to the victim's phone, betting that, tired or confused, they will eventually tap 'approve' just to make it stop. The defence is defeated not by breaking it but by exploiting the person behind it.
A Truro example
An attacker with a stolen password bombards a Truro employee with approval prompts until, worn down, they tap approve, letting the attacker past the multi-factor authentication. Cyber cover meets the incident response and the losses, reflecting an attack that defeated the security through the person, not the technology.
What cyber insurance covers
Cyber cover responds to breaches that defeat multi-factor authentication through fatigue and social pressure as well as technical means, meeting the response and liability. Better-designed authentication and staff awareness reduce the risk.
