LONDON, England, Sept. 20 -- RSA Insurance Group issued the following news release:

RSA has extended its suite of products to include cyber solutions for large and multinational businesses to protect against the growing threat of cyber security breaches in a more stringent regulatory environment.

Cyber protection from RSA also includes the option of a detailed cyber risk assessment to help identify and reduce potential cyber risks. Supported by Deloitte, the risk assessment enables companies to gain valuable insight into their cyber security posture or preparedness.

A 24-hour incident response service delivered in partnership with Crawford & Company ensures companies have immediate support when a cyber incident occurs. The crisis response service enables swift and efficient management of cyber events and provides IT forensic investigations, regulatory and data subject notification, legal advice, reputational and PR management etc. as part of a full suite of responsive services.

Nigel Pearson, group cyber director at RSA, said:

"Our cyber offering delivers comprehensive cyber protection for large companies in response to the clear growth in demand for comprehensive solutions that protect their assets, reputations and balance sheets when the worst happens.

Public awareness of the risk that cyber threats pose is being driven by several factors, including new legislation such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), high profile breaches, increasing focus on CEOs and boards to be aware of cuber protection and planning, and an increasing reliance on IT by businesses in all sectors."

Andrea Garcia-Beltran, UK and International cyber underwriting manager at RSA, said:

"High-quality cyber hygiene is absolutely essential for any business and can reduce the likelihood of a cyber event. Good risk management including pre- and post-incident services supported by a comprehensive cyber insurance policy is essential in today's rapidly evolving landscape. As well as working with future clients to find solutions to their cyber resilience strategies, it's exciting to be able to offer our existing multinational customer base a platform to consolidate their coverage with an insurer they already have confidence in."

Andrew Johnson, cyber partner at Deloitte said:

"Delivering a robust risk assessment to commercial customers in collaboration with RSA ensures their customers can take measures to minimise the risks they face and avoid costly claims arising from cyber breaches. Deloitte provides world leading cyber consultancy services and helps successful businesses all over the world deal with, respond to, and recover from cyber crises."

Paul Handy, head of cyber and technology risks at Crawford & Company said:

"Working with our longstanding partner to deliver a 24/7 incident response service ensures that customers are fully supported in the event of an actual or suspected cyber breach. We know that dealing with incidents quickly is a key part of helping businesses recover and get back on their feet."
