Ontinue and Antigen Security help to reduce cybersecurity insurance costs
Ontinue,
a
provider
of
AI-powered
extended
managed
detection
and
response
(MXDR)
services,
has
partnered
with Antigen
Security,
a
cyber
risk
management
firm,
to
improve
the
cybersecurity
postures
of
customers,
while
reducing
their
cybersecurity
insurance
costs.
Purchasing
and
maintaining
cyber
liability
insurance
has
become
more
complicated
for
businesses
due
to
increasingly
sophisticated
ransomware
and
other
threats
that
can
disrupt
and
completely
shutter
their
operations,
the
company
states.
Insurers
want
companies
to
have
strong
security
controls
in
place
to
weather
breaches
and
could
deny
coverage
if
an
organisation
lacks
the
required
technologies.
To
address
this,
Ontinue
and
Antigen
have
partnered
to
produce Titan
Defense
Complete,
powered
by
Ontinue
ION
MXDR.
Titan
Defense
Complete
is
a
security
solution
that
helps
companies
of
all
sizes
effectively
manage
cyber
risk
by
combining
Ontinue
ION
MXDR
with
Antigen
Incident
Response
services
and
financial
protection
in
the
form
of
cyber
liability
insurance.
This
joint
solution
has
been
vetted
and
certified
by
multiple
cyber
insurance
carriers,
making
customers
who
use
it
eligible
to
save
up
to
90%
on
their
cyber
insurance
premiums.
Chris
Raniere,
Chief
Revenue
Officer
for
Ontinue,
comments,
“Antigen
is
an
ideal
partner,
offering
industry-leading
capabilities
in
incident
response
(IR)
and
recovery
engineering
that
complement
our
ION
MXDR
service,
while
enabling
customers
to
dramatically
reduce
their
cyber
insurance
costs.
“Many
of
our
customers
are
interested
in
bolstering
their
security
portfolio
with
IR
services
and
we
are
excited
to
recommend
a
partner
like
Antigen,
which
has
been
pre-approved
by
several
major
cyber
insurance
carriers
to
perform
IR
work
for
their
clients.”
Steven
Legg,
CEO
and
Co-Founder
of
Antigen,
says,
“With
Antigen
Titan
Defense
Complete,
powered
with
Ontinue
ION
MXDR,
we
are
providing
companies
with
a
vetted
security
solution
that
fulfills
insurers
requirements.
“This
eliminates
the
time-consuming
process
to
evaluate
security
vendors
and
allows
customers
to
move
quickly
to
improve
their
security
postures,
protect
themselves
from
business-disrupting
attacks
and
dramatically
lower
their
cyber
insurance
costs.”
In
addition
to
offering
Titan
Defense
Complete,
Antigen
and
Ontinue
will
also
refer
existing
customers
and
prospects
to
each
other
for
their
additional
services.
In
the
case
of
Antigen,
this
includes
its
IR
Consulting
services,
which
helps
companies
experiencing
an
active
breach
contain,
remediate
and
recover
their
environments.
Antigen
also
offers
its
Rapid
Response
IR
Retainer
service,
which
allows
companies
to
preemptively
purchase
an
IR
service
retainer
so
Antigen
can
immediately
respond
should
a
company
experience
a
breach.
Ontinue
ION
delivers
Nonstop
SecOps
with
24/7,
always-on

first
Microsoft
Teams-based
collaboration
model
for
seamless
real-time
communication
between

stakeholders.
Ontinue
is
also
pioneering
the
use
of
generative
AI
and
automation
to
accelerate
the
detection
and
response
to
threats
faster,
according
to
a
statement
from
the
company.
