Group chief executive says ‘strategic investments’ in cyber has ‘strengthened’ the firm’s ability to ‘shield’ its clients
Global insurer QBE Insurance has launched a new comprehensive cyber policy.
Called QCyberProtect, the product provides coverage for losses arising from network security, privacy liability, IT and non-IT business interruptions and reputational loss.
The policy is tailored for a range of organisations, from mid-sized companies to global corporations with large scale IT systems.
“Strategic investments in our cyber capabilities have strengthened our ability to shield our clients from the most pressing cyber threats,” QBE Insurance group chief executive Andrew Horton said.
“This offering highlights our commitment to delivering globally consistent and practical solutions that address the ever-evolving cyber risks our customers face around the world.”
