In response to the exponential increase in cyber attacks, Partners& has launched a comprehensive cyber risk management offering in collaboration with some of the UK’s leading cyber experts including CFC underwriting, CPP Group and Mitigate Cyber.
The advice led insurance adviser believes that in these times of remote working, connected devices and smart gadgets, the risk of cyber-attack is on the rise and here to stay. In the UK this year alone, almost half of businesses (46%) and a quarter of charities reported having a cyber security breach. (www.gov.uk)
