ACE has launched a dedicated cyber risk unit for Continental Europe as it seeks to strengthen its local underwriting capabilities in key markets across the region.

The insurer’s existing cyber practice, established last year, offers comprehensive risk management and insurance solutions for computer hardware, first- and third-party cyber liability risks in key Continental European markets through a range of specialist products.

The new cyber practice aims to bring together the company’s expertise across the region in one dedicated team of experts. The insurer says its dedicated cyber unit will deliver bespoke cyber policies for local policymakers.

ACE regional cyber manager for Continental Europe Kyle Bryant said: “Having asked brokers and clients what they most value from their cyber insurance partners in Continental Europe, we know that access to local decision makers and the ability to build flexible and tailored solutions are paramount.

“With full-time cyber experts in five core markets, specialists in four more and dedicated cyber risk engineering support, ACE will be exceptionally well placed to help deliver the service and market-leading solutions they deserve.”
