Cybersecurity provider ESET today announced that it has partnered with Patriot Growth Insurance Services (Patriot), one of the largest U.S. insurance services firms specializing in cyber insurance, to close the gap between cyber insurance requirements and applicants’ cybersecurity technology and processes. The newly launched platform allows ESET and Patriot to proactively assess companies’ security postures so they know what they should do to qualify for cyber insurance coverage before applying.
The ESET/Patriot joint solution covers a client’s complete resource requirements from cyber insurance to cybersecurity controls and on to assessment, including an option for fully managed extended detection and response with ESET PROTECT MDR. By combining cyber risk and insurance assessments with competitive products and services across the spectrum, ESET and Patriot are aiming to solve the problem of how to bring the right cybersecurity expertise directly into the insurance discussion.
“Through this innovative joint platform, applicants meet with the right insurance and security experts to quickly guide them through the process of securing coverage while gaining access to highly competitive pricing upfront on our respective solutions,” said Jason Bowie, cyber practice lead, Patriot Growth Insurance Services, in a press statement. “It’s about connecting the right dots for each client.”
“We are proud to partner with one of the country’s leading cyber insurance firms in offering world-class solutions that help companies to stay ahead of bad actors and zero-day attacks, while also ensuring they aren’t declined when seeking insurance,” said Brent McCarty, president of ESET North America, in a press statement. “This partnership marks a tremendous step forward for ESET in the cyber insurance marketplace – delivering unbeatable business value and guidance for our mutual customers.”
ESET offers multi-layered solutions to help businesses of all sizes prevent, detect, and respond to cyberthreats. Recently launched, ESET PROTECT Elite delivers enterprise-grade XDR for maximum visibility and threat-hunting capabilities, combining multilayered endpoint protection with multifactor authentication, vulnerability and patch management, server security, advanced threat defense, full disk encryption, mail security and cloud application protection.
