Cyber Insurance Broker of the Year

Different by design

It's not enough to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of cyber insurance or have a knack for technology. You have to be experts in both, which is exactly what we are.

Our team is made up of subject-matter specialists in a range of areas, including engineers, wording experts, claims, and broking. If a discipline can help us deliver better results, we’ll go out of our way to become experts in it.

But beyond our aptitude, the Howden difference is about attitude. 

Our goal is to deliver the best possible outcome for our clients, every single time. It's that simple. And whatever we need to do to achieve that, we'll do. 

If there's a better solution, we'll create it.

If technology can change the game, we'll design and build it.

And when we're faced with the most complex problems the market can offer, we solve them.

We're Howden Cyber. Disrupting cyber insurance to drive change and choice.

What we do

Measure

Our tech-driven approach scientifically links clients' cyber-security status to their insurance terms. Such precise measurements allow strong answers them to the vital questions that hold the key to securing better terms and wider cover.

Minimise

Our hands-on approach focusses on cybersecurity and cyber insurance. We are always working to minimise the frequency of attack and severity of impact for our clients.

Monitor

Cyber threats are rapidly evolving. We are, too. We continuously invest in our talent and technology to keep clients protected.

From cyber risk to cyber insurance

Cyber insurance, also known as Cyber security or Cyber liability insurance, is protection for your business from illegal attacks to access your organisations’ data or to disrupt their operations for criminal, espionage, politics or simply for mischief. 

No matter how robust your IT security protocols are, they cannot prevent human error, and all it takes is for one person to make one mistake.

With businesses increasingly relying on technology to drive core objectives, the risk of losing money and data, or technology being denied or failing due to accidental or malicious interference has never been greater. So, to keep up with the digital age, insurance evolved to remain relevant to what has fast become the top concern for most businesses globally -  their cyber risk

Business leaders without a well-thought-out strategy around cyber protection are effectively gambling with all their funds to develop their business. Or depending on your cash reserves, your very survival.

  • 24/7 crisis panel to deliver support in the event of a problem

  • Cyber liability
  • Privacy liability
  • Media liability (usually online only)
  • Regulatory investigations and fines, where insurable

  • Incident response costs (forensics, credit monitoring, PR, notification)
  • Cost to repair
  • Business interruption
  • Increased cost of working
  • E-theft (virus/hacking)
  • E-extortion
Protecting clients against the fallout of malicious attacks and accidental events.
