Today, Acrisure UK, the retail insurance broking platform, announced an agreement with ESET, a global cybersecurity provider protecting more than 500,000 businesses worldwide.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, organisations are increasingly looking for trusted partners who can help them navigate both the technical and commercial implications of cyberattacks. The service brings together Acrisure’s specialist cyber insurance capabilities and ESET’s cybersecurity expertise and services, providing clients with access to a broader range of support to help strengthen resilience, manage risk and respond effectively when incidents occur.
Acrisure UK’s cyber insurance specialists work with organisations across a range of sectors, providing tailored solutions designed to address the financial and operational impact of cyber incidents. Combining deep expertise with strong insurer relationships, the team helps businesses secure appropriate protection while navigating an increasingly complex risk landscape.
Tim Wiltshire, Director at Acrisure UK, said: “Good cybersecurity and effective cyber insurance should work hand in hand. Organisations are increasingly looking at cyber risk as a business issue rather than simply an IT issue, and that requires a combination of prevention, resilience and specialist insurance support.
“We are proud to work with ESET as it is a highly respected name in cybersecurity and shares Acrisure’s commitment to helping organisations better understand and manage cyber risk. By working together, we can offer clients peace of mind while strengthening resilience against the growing threat of cyberattacks.”
ESET’s cloud-first ESET PROTECT platform provides next-generation threat prevention, detection and response capabilities. ESET also offers 24/7 MDR (Managed Detection and Response) services, combining AI and human expertise for advanced threat detection and proactive threat hunting without the need for in-house security specialists.
The company continues to invest heavily in cybersecurity innovation through its global network of research and development centres and is recognised for its contribution to cyber threat intelligence and security research. ESET researchers are among the most active contributors to the MITRE ATT&CK® knowledge base and have played a significant role in identifying and analysing sophisticated cyber threat actors and campaigns.
Steven Connolly, Product Partnership Manager at ESET UK, said: “Cyber threats continue to evolve at a pace that many organisations struggle to keep up with. While technology remains a critical part of the solution, businesses increasingly recognise that effective cybersecurity requires a broader risk management strategy. Partnering with Acrisure allows us to introduce customers to specialist cyber insurance expertise from a trusted adviser that understands the challenges businesses face today. Together we can help organisations bolster both their technical defences and their overall resilience.”
The partnership reflects the growing alignment between cybersecurity and insurance, as organisations increasingly recognise that effective cyber risk management requires both robust technical controls and access to specialist insurance protection.
