Swiss Re joins forces with IBM

Swiss Re Corporate Solutions has partnered with IBM Security to provide advanced cyber risk protection products and services to companies worldwide. The IBM – Swiss Re Corporate Solutions agreement helps businesses defend themselves against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks.
 

The agreement combines IBM's outstanding knowledge of information technology security with Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' leading-edge underwriting. IBM will assess clients' external and internal vulnerabilities to cyber attacks, giving them options for implementing risk mitigation proposals. IBM and Swiss Re Corporate Solutions are also exploring innovative services to further enhance clients' protection against cyber threats.

Francois Brisson, Swiss Re Corporate Solutions' head of Cyber Technology, commented: "We aim to answer some of the most pressing questions of companies that seek cyber risk insurance – questions on unforeseen vulnerabilities, available protections, data monitoring techniques and more. Together with IBM, we not only analyse and assess our clients' cyber risk exposure but also support them in dealing effectively with a security breach."
