Marsh, a global leader in insurance broking and risk advisory, and a subsidiary of Marsh McLennan, has introduced an upgraded version of its flagship Cyber Echo insurance facility, providing clients with up to $45m in additional cyber insurance capacity.
The launch of Cyber Echo Encore comes as businesses worldwide face increasing cyber threats and seek greater flexibility in managing their cyber risk exposures, according to InsurTech Insights.
By expanding its insurance capacity, Marsh aims to provide clients with broader coverage options to address evolving cybersecurity challenges.
The facility is underwritten by London market insurers outside of Lloyd’s, broadening the scope of available coverage while maintaining streamlined access and placement processes.
Originally launched in 2016, the Cyber Echo facility remains the largest of its kind, offering up to $125m in cyber insurance coverage. To date, Cyber Echo has facilitated nearly $50bn in coverage for around 500 Marsh clients globally.
Cyber Echo Encore extends the benefits of the original facility beyond the Lloyd’s market, incorporating features such as simplified underwriting, seamless placement, and efficient claims handling. Additionally, it retains the capability to reinstate coverage within the underwriting year following a loss, ensuring clients maintain continuous protection.
Serena France-Hayhurst, UK cyber placement leader, Marsh, said: “As cyber threats continue to grow, companies are looking for standalone cyber insurance that enables them to manage their evolving and sometimes complex risk profiles more effectively. Marsh Cyber Echo is the most successful and widely utilised cyber insurance facility in the world and we are committed to developing new solutions that help clients better manage their cyber risks.”
She added: “Cyber Echo Encore is a natural evolution in the provision of cyber insurance and offers clients even greater optionality and flexibility to manage their cyber insurance programs.”
