Organizations that adopt Cyber Catalyst-designated solutions may be considered for enhanced terms and conditions on individually negotiated cyber insurance policies with participating insurers. Marsh has worked with each participating insurer to establish endorsement wordings that reflect the coverage enhancements that those insurers might offer to Marsh clients that adopt one or more Cyber Catalyst-designated solution.“The Cyber Catalyst designees reflect today’s escalating cyber threat environment, particularly ransomware, which continues to intensify in frequency and severity among organizations of all sizes,” said Tom Reagan, US & Canada Cyber Practice Leader, Marsh. “In total, the program now showcases more than 30 products and services that can help organizations make more informed, confident cybersecurity purchasing decisions and improve their cyber risk management outcomes.”
