Italian insurance giant Generali has teamed up with Accenture and Vodafone Business to create a package of cyber insurance services aimed at corporate and SMEs clients the world over. The suite of services is designed to help customers quickly and effectively recognise, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats and incidents, said the partners.
The joint offering also includes cyber risk assessments, phishing simulations and learning programs with a view to strengthen customers’ ability to effectively defend themselves against cyberattacks, recover quickly with minimal business disruption, and mitigate the impact both internally and to third parties.
As part of the venture, Accenture will offer Generali’s corporate and SME customers cyber risk assessments and responses to cyber incidents. It will also give Generali’s cyber insurance underwriters access to Accenture’s Security Academy platform, which offers learning programs, in multiple languages, on cyber threats and how to address them.
Vodafone Business, meanwhile, will work with Accenture to deliver post-breach response services to SME customers, to help them recover from cyberattacks. These will range from initial incident categorisation and response activities through to complex cybersecurity investigations.
The service will be offered globally, starting in Europe at the beginning of 2022 and allowing for customisation depending on the local market and client preferences.
