Yandex Cloud has partnered with major Russian insurers Sogaz and Ingosstrakh to launch new cyber insurance programs for businesses. Under the arrangement, the insurers provide financial protection while Yandex Cloud evaluates the client’s cloud infrastructure to determine appropriate policy conditions.
The assessment is performed using the Yandex Security Deck service. This tool automatically scans cloud resources, applications, and stored data for open internal information, excessive user access rights, data leak risks, and potential infrastructure compromise vectors. Findings are aggregated into a single interface and ranked by priority.
Clients receive the full report and may forward it directly to the insurer, which uses the data to calculate policy terms. When serious vulnerabilities are detected, Yandex Cloud offers specific remediation steps. The automated approach is intended to replace traditional paper questionnaires that often contain incomplete or outdated information.
According to Sogaz, the total volume of requested cyber-risk coverage more than doubled year-over-year during the first half of 2026, exceeding 12 billion rubles. The new model combines infrastructure diagnostics, technical protection measures, and financial compensation in the event of an incident.
Insurers gain a more accurate, real-time view of client risks, while businesses receive an opportunity to address cloud misconfigurations before they are exploited by attackers.
