Chubb launches end-to-end risk management solution for cyber threats in Thailand

Wednesday 05 June 2019 10:30
Chubb announced today the launch of its Cyber Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) solution in Thailand.

In today's connected environment, cyber security is a widespread concern. Despite the higher incidences and losses associated with cyber breaches, businesses may not fully understand their cyber and data privacy risks until an event occurs.

Beyond a simple policy, Chubb's Cyber ERM is structured to offer an end-to-end loss control and risk management solution to clients – from helping them understand what leads to cyber incidents and how to prevent them prior to the policy inception; to offering guidance in the case of a cyber incident to minimize losses and manage reputation.

Chubb's Cyber ERM solution has the following benefits for clients:

- Access to Chubb Global Cyber Practice, a specialist network of cyber risk professionals from around the world, coupled with the personalized touch of local underwriters. Chubb's underwriter helps clients understand and measure their risk exposures, in order to customize coverage more effectively.

- Simplified policy structure and language, bringing together in one wording the key elements of first-party cover and third-party cyber liability cover, including: business interruption loss, data restoration, cyber extortion, liability arising from privacy and security incidents, as well as crisis response expenses

- Dedicated 24/7 incident response teams to assist clients in a crisis resulting from a covered cyber incident

According to Mr. Edward Kopp, Country President of Chubb's general insurance business in Thailand, "While cyber insurance may be relatively new in Thailand, Chubb has been a pioneer in the cyber insurance marketplace for more than 20 years. The launch of Cyber ERM is timely as we witness the rapid advancement of technology in all sectors. Increased dependency on technology and connectivity has exposed businesses to greater risks like cyber breaches and attacks. This is why businesses need an experienced risk management partner, like Chubb, as we have extensive knowledge of cyber risks and claims as well as deep local expertise."

"Cyber attacks are costly affairs, and businesses can no longer ignore the significant reputational and financial risks that come with it. Through Cyber ERM, we offer both a loss control and risk management solution, beyond insurance coverage, to minimise the exposure in the first place," added Mr. Kopp.
