RedShield offers clients market-leading cyber security insurance solution
RedShield, will now be providing clients with a market leading cyber risk mitigation solution. The insurance and risk management service will be specifically available for companies that have RedShield’s website and application defense service.
This initiative is aimed at guiding New Zealand companies in taking the right steps to prepare, defend and recover from the increasing risk of cyber-attack. These attacks are estimated to have cost local companies over $625 million in the last 4 years, and forecast by the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) to increase by 60% annually. Recent breach analysis has shown that web application security flaws are commonly used as a point of entry.
In developing this offering to their clients, RedShield has worked closely with Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk management, and, Delta Insurance. This collaboration allows for these gaps in cyber risk control to be effectively managed through cyber security and insurance.
Marsh has been actively raising awareness of cyber risk and implementing facilities such as their global online questionnaire Cyber Risk Self-Assessment Tool, to broadly determine the relevance of a cyber-event on an organization.“It’s important for clients to understand that insurance is not the only step in solving this issue, and that security technology also does not guarantee complete protection. This collaboration provides our clients with well-rounded advice on cyber risk,” says Marsh New Zealand Head of Specialties Frederic Boles.
