Aspen Insurance Holdings has partnered with Surefire Cyber to launch Aspen Cyber Risk Services, a suite of offerings designed to enable its primary cyber insureds to proactively tackle cyber security threats, from pre-incident to response and resilience.

Available globally, Aspen’s primary cyber insureds will be able to select one tailored service at no charge during each policy period. These services could include a technical tabletop exercise; ransomware resilience assessment; cyber security improvement plan; legal tabletop exercise or code red alerts.

The ransomware resilience assessment tests network defences by simulating a real-world ransomware attack, using the current tactics, techniques and procedures of major ransomware groups. This is followed by a workshop presenting the attacker’s perspective of what assets and data could have been compromised in the attack.

Bobby Bianconi, Aspen Insurance global head of cyber, said: “As threats in cyber security continue to increase, ACRS will empower customers to detect risks at an early stage and provide them with the tools needed to respond swiftly and decisively. We are delighted to partner with Surefire Cyber’s first-class team of experts to deliver this powerful offering globally to our insureds as the cyber threat landscape continues evolving rapidly.”

Billy Gouveia, Surefire Cyber CEO, added: “Ransomware continues to plague organizations across all industries, but with proper planning they can mitigate the risk. Our team is excited to be working with Aspen to offer their primary cyber insureds a suite of pre-loss services to improve their cyber security posture.”
