Marsh US cyber practice leader Thomas Reagan said: “In today’s fast-evolving cyber risk landscape, firms want to be able to gain greater insight into their cybersecurity preparedness.

“Marsh’s enhanced online cyber self-assessment provides clients a comprehensive view of their cybersecurity program maturity, coupled with a streamlined, easy-to-use cyber insurance application process.”

Currently available to Marsh US clients, the online cyber self-assessment tool will soon be rolled out across the globe.

Furthermore, Marsh has made many recent strides in digital solutions. It also launched a cloud-based digital broker platform called Bluestream to meet the needs of affinity clients.

The aim is to allow clients to scale insurance programmes. In addition, it enables the move to be in line with the unique requirements of their customers in different geographies.
