• Prestigious Annual Awards Program Recognizes Outstanding Information Security Products and Companies Around the World

SAN FRANCISCO – October 9, 2025 – At-Bay, the InsurSec provider for the digital age, today announced that its Stance Fraud Defense solution has been selected as the winner of the “Fraud Prevention Innovation of the Year” award in the 9th annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. Conducted by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, an independent market intelligence organization, the annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products, and technologies driving progress in the global information security industry. 

At-Bay Stance Fraud Defense, an AI-powered email security solution trained on real-world cyber insurance claims data, is purpose-built to identify modern email-based fraud attacks that most traditional email security solutions are unable to detect. Fraud Defense’s added security layer analyzes communication patterns with AI to detect anomalies and flag suspicious behavior with visual warnings for users.

Available at no additional cost to At-Bay Cyber and Tech E&O policyholders, Fraud Defense not only provides better security, activating it can also unlock up to double the financial fraud coverage sub-limits typically offered by the industry (up to $500K).

“Our claims data shows that financial fraud is the most frequent source of loss among our policyholders, despite many having email security solutions in place,” said Benny Shlesinger, VP of Cyber Technology at At-Bay. “We’re not just filling a major security gap in the market, we’re also using it to redefine how insurance and cybersecurity work together to deliver better overall outcomes for customers. It’s an honor to accept this award from CyberSecurity Breakthrough.”

The mission of the CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards is to celebrate excellence and spotlight breakthrough innovation driving the global cybersecurity industry forward. Covering a wide range of categories – including Cloud Security, Threat Intelligence, Risk Management, Fraud Prevention, Mobile Security, Application Security, Identity Management, and more – the annual program highlights the solutions and organizations redefining how we safeguard the digital world.

The 2025 awards program received thousands of nominations from more than 20 countries around the world, representing everything from disruptive startups to established global enterprises. This year’s winners embody the cutting edge of cybersecurity technology, delivering next-generation protection and resilience in today’s increasingly complex threat landscape.

“Financial fraud is surging, and email is driving the wave. At-Bay’s Fraud Defense solution is uniquely designed to identify and stop these extremely common and costly attacks,” said Steve Johansson, managing director, CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “The solution is a major innovation in both cybersecurity and cyber insurance, delivering stronger preventative protection and better coverage in the case of a financial fraud incident. We’re thrilled to award At-Bay with the award for ‘Fraud Prevention Innovation of the Year!’”

With the addition of Fraud Defense, At-Bay Stance – At-Bay’s unified security platform – now mitigates cyber risks associated with 86% of customer claims. Fraud Defense can be seamlessly activated in minutes via Stance.
