Aon has launched CyQu Marketplace, a new offering designed to help businesses act on cyber risk assessment findings by connecting them with cybersecurity service providers and potential mitigation solutions.

The marketplace is intended to help organisations move more quickly from identifying cyber vulnerabilities to prioritising and addressing control gaps that could have the greatest impact on cyber resilience. It also provides a way for businesses to demonstrate risk improvement efforts and progress to insurers during the underwriting process.

“Businesses today have greater access to cyber information than ever before, but many still face challenges turning those insights into action,” said Brent Rieth, global cyber leader, Aon.

“As cyber threats continue to evolve, determining where to focus resources and which actions will have the greatest impact on reducing risk and supporting broader risk financing objectives has never been more critical. CyQu Marketplace helps clients prioritise risk improvement efforts, make more informed cybersecurity investment decisions and better demonstrate cyber maturity to insurers.”

Aon's own research points to a 53% year-on-year increase in social engineering incidents and a 233% increase in social engineering and fraud claims, amid the rise of AI-enabled threats including deepfakes.
