Global re/insurance broker AON launches of a CyFi - digital cyber insurance for SME

Global re/insurance broker Aon, a leading provider a broad range of risk, retirement & health solutions, launches of a CyFi – digital insurance solution for small and middle market businesses.

The practice’s name stands for “cyber” and “financial” lines of insurance.

With this new offering, businesses across a wide spectrum of industries can go through the full end-to-end process of buying and managing cyber liability insurance online. They also have access to an insurance specialist to walk through the application process and coverage details.

Digital insurance solution is designed for any business generating up to $100 million in annual revenue across sectors including retail, technology, professional services, manufacturing, and more.

We’re using our innovative tech processes along with our traditional broking style to ensure that clients’ needs are met from a coverage standpoint and pricing standpoint, but also with a high quality service and efficiency that can be provided by accessing this one group

Aon aggregated separate lines in the firm. CyFi aims to improve efficiency.

“That makes it easier and quicker to negotiate with the markets and for them to work with us as well, and to match up our talents and expertise with their underwriters”.

The new offering builds on other insurance products that Aon has recently introduced to middle market businesses, providing clients with access to a seamless platform to help manage all of their insurance coverages under this offering in one place.

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected online, cyber risks pose a growing threat to small and middle market businesses, which may have limited technology and security resources
