US-based speciality commercial insurance brokerage firm BlueStone Advisors has formed a partnership with ICE CyberSecurity to help clients deal with cyber risks.

Under the partnership, BlueStone Advisors’ CyberASAP process will leverage ICE CyberSecurity’s proprietary cybersecurity management platform, Integrated Cybersecurity Engine (ICE).

CyberASAP will evaluate clients’ risks that could impact their ability to obtain cyber coverage or increase their premiums.

The integration also allows organisations to spot potential risks, address vulnerabilities, deploy mitigation strategies and get preferred insurance coverage and rates.

The firms will also conduct research and analysis and identify future cybersecurity trends.

BlueStone Advisors president Andrew Royce said: “2022 is projected to be one of the most challenging years on record for cyber risk, and the integration of ICE CyberSecurity into CyberASAP allows insureds to unite IT, cyberSecurity, and finance into the intricate underwriting process.
