Nowadays, getting cheap car insurance that offers a lot of coverage is essential. Luckily, even in these tough times, there are many ways to get cheap car insurance. By doing proper research, drivers can find an auto insurance policy that is at the right price.

To find cheaper car insurance policies, drivers can follow the next steps:

• 
  Compare multiple quotes. It’s crucial to compare car insurance quotes from multiple companies. Comparison shopping can help drivers uncover cheap car insurance companies and auto insurance discounts. Drivers may discover a new company that has emerged or dropped its prices in this competitive market. Drivers should compare quotes at least once per year or if they experience a major life event such as marriage, divorce, getting a new car, or moving to a new place.
• Bundle policies. To save money on insurance, drivers can bundle their car insurance with other insurance policies such as homeowner’s insurance, renter’s insurance, boat insurance, life insurance, or health insurance. In some cases, policyholders can save as much as 30% of the total insurance costs. Also, if they own two or more vehicles, they can get a 25% multi-car policy discount.
• Raise the deductible. By simply raising the deductible, drivers can lower the collision and comprehensive portion of their premiums. However, a higher deductible means more money out of the pocket in the event of a claim.
• Find all the discounts that are available. To make insurance policies more affordable, car insurance companies are offering all sorts of discounts. Insurers offer discounts such as good student discounts, loyalty discounts, good driver and safe driver discounts, pay in advance discounts, or safety-feature discounts.
• Purchase the right vehicle. Cars that cost less to repair or replace generally receive lower premiums. Family cars or minivans are usually the cheapest cars to insure.
• Be a good driver. Insures will always check the driving record to see if a policyholder presents a high level of risk. Speeding tickets, accidents, drunk driving citations – all can make the costs of insurance to be higher. However, drivers who manage to keep a clean driving record for at least three years can get a good driver discount that can save as much as 25% of their premiums.
• Drop unnecessary coverage. Drivers who own older vehicles that have low value should consider dropping comprehensive and collision coverage. Also, drivers can drop personal injury protection coverage or medical payment coverage (if their states don’t require to carry these coverages) if they already have an excellent health insurance plan.
• Buy only the state-required minimum insurance. To save money on insurance, drivers can purchase only the liability insurance at the lowest legal limits required by the state to legally drive a car.
• Drive less. Drivers who are driving fewer miles than a specified number of miles each year, usually 7,500 to 10,000 miles, can get a reduction in their base rates. Usually, the insurers require that the drivers will install a small device in their vehicles that transmit the mileage data to the company.
• Check for group insurance discounts. Some providers offer reductions to drivers who get insurance through a group plan from their employers, professional, business, and alumni groups, other associations, or schools.

Shopping online for car insurance is a process that more and more people are willing to embrace. And with so many companies and brokerage websites, it would be a pity not to take advantage.

Shopping online for car insurance has the following benefits:

• 
  Policyholders can save time. All they need is an internet connection and a device like a smartphone, tablet, pc, notebook and they are ready to shop online for car insurance. In the past drivers had to travel from one insurance company to another in order to obtain car insurance offers. It could have taken several days for drivers to obtain some offers to compare. Now, they can sit in the comfort of their homes and they can analyze car insurance quotes in just a few minutes.
• Drivers can obtain multiple offers in one place. With the help of brokerage websites, drivers can compare quotes from multiple insurers with just one search. They will no longer have to go to different insurance companies’ websites and obtain just one quote from each.
• Online shopping will help drivers avoid manipulative agents. Insurance agents will try to put pressure on their prospective customers in order to make a sale. Policyholders that shop online, will avoid dealing with pushy agents that try to make a sale.
• Take advantage of the offered discount. Usually, insurance providers offer small discounts for drivers that obtain online quotes or choose to purchase online coverage.
• Online quotes are free. Drivers don’t have to pay a middleman in order to obtain online car insurance offers.
• Drivers are immediately insured. They will receive their digital proof of insurance, immediately after the purchase is finalized. The digital proof of insurance can be either printed on paper or saved on any capable mobile device.

“Senior drivers can easily lower their car insurance premiums if they follow several money-saving methods”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
June 18, 2020

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that explains how senior citizens can get better car insurance rates.

For more info and free quotes, visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/top-tips-for-the-elderly-to-get-better-car-insurance/.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the frequency of crashes increases for drivers that are 70-year-old or more. As a result, insurers place seniors in the high-risk category.

Senior drivers that are looking for better car insurance premiums can follow the next tips:

• Look for a low-mileage discount. Insurance companies offer significant discounts for drivers that drive less. Senior citizens that just got retired are no longer required to commute to work, so they usually drive fewer miles.
• Graduate a defensive driving course. Senior citizens will find out how medications and aging affect driving and how to better accommodate to these changes. Also, classes are cheap and will provide significant discounts after graduation.
• Install anti-theft devices. Senior citizens can install noisy alarms, ignition kill switches, steering wheel locks, vehicle tracking systems or other anti-theft devices to prove their insurer they want to keep their vehicle safe. Depending on what safety device is installed, insurance companies will offer various discounts.
• Look for a cheaper car to insure. Senior citizens are recommended to insure slightly used cars that already have several safety features installed.
• Pay for the whole policy at once. Senior citizens can save between 5% to 10% if they pay for the full policy at once. This way senior citizens won’t have to pay for monthly interest charges and administration fees.
• Keep a clean driving record. Senior citizens that maintain a clean driving record can qualify for a good driver discount. This way they can lower their insurance premiums even further.
• Check online insurance quotes. By comparing multiple online insurance quotes, senior citizens can decide if to remain with the same insurance provider or switch to another one that provides better insurance rates.

IoT firmware is the next big attack vector. Yet IoT device manufacturers and users alike struggle to demonstrate compliance with these emerging standards and regulations due to the complicated, time intensive and expensive cybersecurity assessment process for these products.

FULTON, Md. (PRWEB)
June 18, 2020

ReFirm Labs, a provider of the industry’s first proactive IoT and firmware security solutions, today announced the Spring 2020 release of its flagship Centrifuge Platform®. Centrifuge vets, validates and continuously monitors the security of firmware – the software that runs IoT devices – to protect against emerging cyber threats. With this new release, Centrifuge continues to enhance the capabilities of its platform and introduces automated compliance reporting to address the rapidly increasing number of IoT industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Widely recognized as a pressing cybersecurity issue, firmware is a major unprotected attack surface that hackers use to get a foothold and move laterally into corporate or critical infrastructure networks. A host of emerging standards and regulations are being developed to address this threat by enforcing proper cyber hygiene by IoT device manufacturers. Recently both the US Cyberspace Solarium Commission and the NIST Cybersecurity for IoT Program released reports recommending stronger regulatory enforcement and clearer baseline standards and guidance for IoT device manufacturers and their supply chains in order to defend the country against cyberattacks. The Solarium report recommended Congress pass laws making device manufacturers liable for delivering products with known vulnerabilities.

“IoT firmware is the next big attack vector. Yet IoT device manufacturers and users alike struggle to demonstrate compliance with these emerging standards and regulations due to the complicated, time intensive and expensive cybersecurity assessment process for these products. Device manufacturers also need visibility into the security of third-party components from their supply chain. Automation of these assessments and validation early in the development process is the key to trust and managing risk throughout the IoT ecosystem,” said Derick Naef, CEO of ReFirm Labs.

He adds, “Just as organizations require a show of security and compliance due diligence for their enterprise applications, so should they be doing for their IoT devices.”

The Spring ’20 release of ReFirm Labs’ Centrifuge Platform introduces major new capabilities that expand the firmware security analysis platform to help automate and address the compliance and certification needs of embedded systems. Updates include:

• 
  Security Policy and Standards Compliance Validation: To help IoT device manufacturers integrate security policies into their quality checks and development process, these security policies can be defined and automatically checked against the Centrifuge analysis results. The new Centrifuge Policy Engine quickly determines if a product release is compliant, which saves time and money before starting an expensive and time consuming certification process. In addition, manufacturers can now enforce security compliance when receiving code from third parties before they accept new releases. And product security teams can quickly evaluate compliance before that equipment is placed on the network. Security policies can be customized and mapped to any one of the emerging security standards to verify standards compliance.
• Firmware Comparison for Supply Chain Visibility: To address Cyber Supply Chain Risks, Centrifuge now supports firmware differencing. Product security teams can get a detailed view of what has changed between releases or within equipment in the field. This reduces the time required to conduct product security assessments. Now security analysts can focus on just those components that changed or identify changes they were not expecting. Automated firmware differencing provides a key capability to organizations standing up Cyber Supply Chain Risk Management programs as required by emerging industry regulations.

Other key improvements to Centrifuge’s core security analysis capabilities include:

• Speed: Dramatically improved firmware extraction & analysis speed in some cases 10x faster
• Expanded vulnerability coverage: 10 new analyzers for detecting known vulnerabilities in open source components, including Bluetooth, UPnP, and a variety of SSL security libraries
• Expanded exploit coverage: 4 new detectors to identify exploits, including CABLEHAUNT and HiSilicon backdoors
• PowerPC support: Binary analysis of firmware built for the PowerPC CPU architecture
• Enhanced security: Support for two-factor authentication

Highly scalable, automated and cloud-based, the Centrifuge Platform is a simple and reliable way for monitoring security across an entire system of deployed IoT devices without the need for agents or access to the network itself. Centrifuge has been proven to increase productivity for security teams while reducing the number of breaches on internet-connected devices.
