Cyber

QBE is proud to announce the launch of a new cyber offering:

Our Cyber policy protects against the range of risks associated with network security and privacy breaches and provides critical support in the event of a cyber attack.

Increasing risks

Today, every aspect of modern business relies heavily on information technology. While companies are allocating significant resources to fortify their networks from hackers and malware, no IT solution will ever be enough. A cyber attack can cripple a company’s operations whilst also impacting their reputation with clients and stakeholders. Broadening legislation is increasing corporate responsibility around data protection, only adding to the need to have protective measures in place. It is for this reason that insurance is a core solution for any company looking to manage this risk.

Tailored cover and individual service

To make sure you are protected, our underwriters will work closely with you to create cover that suits your specific needs. We take the time to understand your business from top to bottom, so we can provide bespoke cover that protects you against current and emerging cyber risks.

Crisis support – 24 hours a day

We’ve teamed up with a panel of experts to provide 24-hour support if you experience a cyber event. That might involve providing a forensics team to work out how the cyber breach happened and how to fix the problem; legal advice relating to fulfilling regulatory requirements; or managing a PR response to minimize any impact to your reputation.

Helping you manage your risks

At QBE, we don’t believe in just covering risks; we help you to manage and reduce them. We are delighted to offer our insureds a range of risk management support tools including:

• QCyberPrepare - an online saferoom to help you prepare for a cyber incident.
• Free access to the QBE Cyber Risk Management Portal, which offers a wide range of information on cyber risks as well as how to make sure you're protected against them.

Multinational capabilities

We have underwriters who specialize in Cyber insurance in all of the major geographies in which QBE has operations. We can also provide policies in a range of languages. For companies with operations in multiple territories, we can write global cyber programmes.
