No organisation blocks every cyber attack. Controls improve. Detection gets faster. Response becomes more coordinated. Yet incidents still occur.
What has changed is the expectation placed on security teams after an incident. Detection and response are no longer the final measure of success. Business leaders now want to understand recovery time, operational impact, and financial exposure.
That is where the Arctic Wolf Security Operations Warranty fits.
The Security Operations Warranty is built into qualifying Arctic Wolf Security Operations deployments. It provides up to $3 million in financial coverage when a major cyber incident occurs. There is no separate policy to purchase and no additional premium for qualifying customers.
This is not cyber insurance. It complements it.
What the Security Operations Warranty is designed to do
Every security program leaves residual risk. Even with 24×7 monitoring, threat detection, and managed response, exposure remains. The warranty exists to address that remaining risk with a defined financial outcome.
When a covered incident occurs, the warranty supports the recovery and repair required to restore systems to a pre-incident state. It also helps address common financial pressures during incidents, including legal exposure, compliance impact, and business interruption.
A key benefit is the ability to fund a cyber insurance deductible. For many organisations, that deductible represents the largest immediate financial impact of a breach.
Coverage aligned to real incidents
The warranty focuses on the incident types that cause the greatest operational and financial disruption.
Coverage includes ransomware incidents, business email compromise, cyber legal liabilities, compliance events, and business income loss. These are the scenarios most organisations actively plan for and, increasingly, experience.
Coverage levels scale based on the Security Operations Bundle selected, whether managed endpoint protection is included, and the contract term. Stronger controls and longer-term commitments result in higher coverage, up to the $3 million maximum.
Why this matters to security and IT leaders
Security teams operate at the intersection of technical risk and business accountability. When an incident occurs, costs escalate quickly, often before insurance claims are processed or liability is fully assessed.
The Security Operations Warranty introduces defined financial support that aligns directly to the security operations program itself. It reduces uncertainty during incidents and helps organisations plan for financial impact before an attack occurs.
It also supports insurance discussions. A managed security environment with built-in risk transfer strengthens underwriting conversations and demonstrates operational maturity.
How Braintree helps
The value of the warranty depends on correct deployment and ongoing operational discipline. Eligibility and coverage levels are tied to how Security Operations are implemented and maintained.
Braintree works with organisations to assess readiness, map risk, and align the appropriate Arctic Wolf Security Operations Bundle to their environment. This includes validating eligibility, selecting the correct coverage tier, and ensuring the solution is implemented with clear ownership and review cadence.
The outcome is faster deployment, clearer expectations, and reduced financial shock when incidents occur.
Cyber security has always focused on reducing likelihood and impact. The Security Operations Warranty adds a third requirement for modern environments.
Financial accountability.
