Next-Generation Cyber Protection

Cyber threats are no longer just an IT problem; they are a critical business risk. Turbulent economic conditions and advanced technology mean exposures are higher than ever.

As your brokers, we arrange market-leading "Active Insurance" policies. Unlike traditional cover that only pays out after a claim, our policies combine the power of technology and insurance to help your organisation identify, mitigate, and respond to digital risks before they strike.

Why Active Cyber Insurance Matters in 2026

From ransomware encrypting your systems to fraudsters using AI-generated deepfakes to impersonate your CEO, the threat landscape is evolving rapidly. Our policies include complimentary access to proprietary cybersecurity platforms that continuously monitor your digital assets, providing real-time alerts and third-party risk management to prevent attacks before they happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cyber liability insurance actually cover?

Cyber liability insurance covers the financial losses and legal liabilities resulting from cyber incidents. This includes ransomware payments, data breach notification costs, regulatory fines, business interruption losses, IT forensic costs, and legal defence fees if third parties sue your business.

Does cyber insurance cover social engineering and invoice manipulation?

Yes, comprehensive cyber policies include cyber crime extensions. This protects your business if an employee is tricked via phishing or impersonation into transferring money to a fraudster or paying a fake invoice.

Are AI and Deepfake threats covered under standard cyber policies?

Many older policies exclude AI-related risks. However, the market-leading policies we arrange include specific endorsements for AI security events (like prompt injection) and deepfake impersonation, covering forensic, legal, and PR costs to mitigate the damage.

How quickly do I need to report a cyber incident?

You should report a suspected cyber incident immediately. Cyber policies are "claims-made", meaning prompt notification ensures you can utilize the insurer's 24/7 incident response team to contain the breach, mitigate losses, and ensure the claim is fully covered.
