New York, Sept. 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Specialist insurer, Beazley, has launched a Cyber & Breach Response portal exclusively for use by its brokers. Reflecting Beazley’s position as a leading cyber liability and data breach insurer, this new portal is the gateway to an all-encompassing set of resources designed to help brokers remain informed and educated on the constantly evolving cyber risk and data breach landscape.

Once registered, brokers will have unlimited access to a vast suite of information: from cyber basics, through to industry-specific issues, regulatory updates, product information, breach and claim examples and risk insights. Brokers will also be able to ask questions of Beazley’s teams directly from the site and access a wide variety of external sources that provide additional knowledge and insight.

Mike Donovan, head of technology and cyber insurance at Beazley comments: “Without walling themselves off, modern businesses cannot avoid cyber risk. But they can prepare for it. And we believe the insurance market can play a crucial role in helping them prepare. We have created this portal to give brokers the critical insight and tools they need to understand the risk environment our mutual clients face in these challenging times.” 

The portal complements beazleybreachsolutions.com, Beazley’s dedicated site for clients with a data breach policy, which offers an extensive range of information and resources to help them understand the services available to them and best prepare and plan for a data breach event.

Beazley is a pioneer in cyber liability and data breach insurance.  It remains the only insurer to have a dedicated in-house breach response team responsible for coordinating the expert forensic, legal, notification and credit monitoring services that clients need to satisfy all legal requirements and maintain customer confidence. Since the launch of Beazley Breach Response in 2009, Beazley has helped clients handle more than 6,500 data breaches.

The portal is available at www.cyber.beazley.com
