Cyber insurance has traditionally done its most important work after something goes wrong. We think it can do much more before an incident ever happens.
That's why LevelBlue is partnering with rrelentless, a UK-based specialist Managing General Agent (MGA), to give its cyber insurance policyholders access to LevelBlue's cybersecurity expertise as part of their policy. Every rrelentless cyber policyholder can now tap into LevelBlue Security Colony, gaining practical tools and expert guidance to understand their exposure, prioritize improvements and build resilience day to day.
Why cyber insurance needs security expertise built in
Threats evolve constantly, and a policy that only pays out after a breach leaves organizations to manage that risk on their own the rest of the time. Many small and mid-sized businesses don't have the in-house security staff to know where their weaknesses are, let alone fix them.
rrelentless shares our view that insurance should play an active role in reducing risk, not just transferring it. By embedding LevelBlue's services directly into its cyber policies, rrelentless gives policyholders a clear path to find vulnerabilities, assess their readiness and act on them before a claim is ever needed. That's good for the businesses, and good for the long-term health of the cyber insurance market.
What rrelentless policyholders get with LevelBlue
Through LevelBlue Security Colony, rrelentless cyber policyholders can access a suite of proactive services, exclusive to rrelentless customers and included with every cyber policy:
- Vulnerability scanning to identify technical weaknesses across their environment
- Cyber maturity assessments to benchmark their security posture and prioritize what to improve first
- Ransomware readiness assessments to understand how prepared they are for one of today's most damaging threats
- Vendor risk assessments to evaluate the security of the third parties they rely on
- Breach monitoring to spot potential exposure of their data early
- Ask the Expert forum access, connecting them directly with LevelBlue security specialists
Together, these services turn a cyber policy into an ongoing resource for improving security, not just a safety net.
Resilience starts with understanding risk
"Cyber resilience begins with understanding where risk exists and having clear, practical guidance to address it," said Grant Duncan, SVP at LevelBlue. "Through this partnership, rrelentless policyholders will gain access to LevelBlue's Security Colony, connecting them with expert insights and practical resources to better understand their cyber exposure, prioritize areas for improvement, and strengthen their internal security capabilities."
"By combining LevelBlue's cybersecurity expertise with rrelentless' proactive approach to risk management, we can help more policyholders take meaningful action before an incident occurs, reduce risk, and build lasting resilience."
Gary Gallen, Chief Executive of rrelentless and its parent, the rradar group of companies, sees the partnership the same way: "Cyber risk does not stand still, so neither can cyber insurance. Partnering with global cyber specialists LevelBlue and Pistachio and leveraging the power of their expertise will bring significant value to our customers."
Part of a 360-degree view of cyber risk
LevelBlue's technical services sit alongside two other layers of support in the rrelentless cyber proposition. Legal firm rradar provides specialist cyber legal, regulatory and risk management guidance. Security awareness training provider Pistachio, which joins as a partner at the same time, offers personalized training, simulated phishing campaigns and behavioral insights to strengthen the human side of security.
The result is legal, technical and people-focused support before, during and after a cyber incident, with LevelBlue providing the technical insight that helps policyholders see and close their gaps.
Bringing LevelBlue expertise to more organizations
As the world's largest and most analyst-recognized pure-play managed security service provider, LevelBlue supports thousands of organizations across 96 countries with managed security services, threat intelligence and risk consulting.
