Agile beefs up cyber offering

Agile Underwriting has formed an IT partnership to strengthen its cyber offering.

The agreement with local IT security firm Zirilio allows brokers to offer clients value-added cyber security solutions.

“Security testing is essential,” Agile Emerging Risks GM James Crowther said. “It’s not enough to ask questions. Insurers should proactively offer incentives for good security practices, [and] in some cases help improve customers’ defences.

“That’s the idea behind a partnership like this, which offers a reward for those who take their cyber resilience seriously.”

Agile will provide a 10% discount to clients on completion of the cyber assessment and any remediation.
