Apple Inc. and Cisco Systems Inc. are teaming with insurer Allianz Group and insurance broker Aon Plc to offer discounts on cybersecurity insurance to businesses that use products from both technology companies, according to a release Feb. 5.
The offering is expected to enable better terms on cyber insurance coverage, such as lower or no deductibles. The partnership features a cybersecurity evaluation by Aon to assess customers' cybersecurity posture and recommend ways to improve their defenses. In addition, Cisco will offer its Ransomware Defense as part of its integrated security portfolio to allow email security, next-generation endpoint protection and cloud-delivered malicious internet site blocking.
Organizations can also access Cisco and Aon’s Incident Response teams in the event of a malware attack.
