Accenture, together with Generali and Vodafone Business, will offer cyber insurance. Accenture announced this on December 27, 2021.

The cooperation of Generali Group with Accenture and Vodafone Business will allow you to launch a service in the field of risk management and insurance against emerging cyber incidents. The integrated insurance platform provides cyber threat recognition services and rapid response tools.

The joint partner offering includes cyber risk assessment, phishing query modeling and training programs that will help customers effectively defend against cyber attacks.

According to Bruno Scaroni, director of transformation at Generali Group, as part of the strategic development plan for 2021, the company allocated more than 1 billion euros for digital transformation, which will support the launch of new services.

Accenture's role is to assess cyber risks and help respond to cyber incidents in a timely manner. In addition, Accenture provides access to the Security Academy training platform with a multi-language training package on cyber threats and protection options.

Vodafone Business, together with Accenture, will help in recovering from cyber attacks: from the initial categorization of incidents to complex cybersecurity investigations.

Another partner - Europe Assistance, part of the Generali Group, will provide overall program coordination and organize a call center to provide round-the-clock support for identifying threats and activating the necessary recovery services if necessary.

The service will be available to the first customers in Europe from 2022. The service will be localized depending on market requirements and customer preferences.

Andrei Tymoshenko, head of Accenture information security practice in Russia, believes that the service may be in demand on the Russian market. But in order to offer an optimal program, the insurance company must understand the profile of cyber risks of customers.

If the client works to increase awareness of employees in IB issues, attracts professionals and industry leaders to manage cyber incidents - thereby he demonstrates his desire to deal with information security issues without trying to transfer all responsibility to the insurance company, "said Andrei Tymoshenko.

According to him, with an increase in the level of maturity of domestic companies in IB issues, cyber insurance services will occupy their niche in the Russian market.
