At-Bay Stance Fraud Defense named "Fraud Prevention Innovation of the Year" in 2025 CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards program. By marina povolotski on October 23, 2025 news 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."
