ReliaQuest and Aon plc have unveiled a partnership aimed at offering organizations a novel approach to managing cyber risks proactively. This collaboration unites ReliaQuest’s security operations technology with Aon’s experience in cyber risk management, creating a comprehensive service suite to detect, assess, and mitigate cyber threats. The initiative is particularly timely, considering the dynamic challenges and opportunities within the cyber insurance sector.
Integrating ReliaQuest’s GreyMatter platform with Aon’s cyber risk management insights, the partnership seeks to bolster clients’ cyber defenses and streamline their security operations. Aon’s 2023 Cyber Resilience Report reveals a pressing gap in the market, with 40% of surveyed companies lacking crucial system and organizational controls. This collaboration directly addresses these vulnerabilities, aiming to enhance cyber resilience across industries.
Clients benefiting from ReliaQuest’s services will now have access to advanced indicators of compromise through Aon’s global incident response team. This integration is designed to strengthen security postures while reducing the complexity and operational burden on organizations.
“Risk Management”
Brian Murphy, Founder and CEO of ReliaQuest, emphasized the strategic value of this partnership. He stated in a company press release, “Combining Aon’s cyber risk expertise with the power of ReliaQuest’s security operations platform, GreyMatter, enables customers to leverage automation while increasing visibility and reducing complexity. This facilitates proactive risk management, crucial for adapting to the evolving cyber insurance landscape, anytime, anywhere in the world.”
Christian Hoffman, Global Cyber Leader at Aon, reiterated the importance of adapting to the ever-changing cyber threat environment. “Cyber security threats constantly evolve. We remain committed to helping our clients address new forms of volatility,” he said. Hoffman highlighted the critical role of enhanced visibility in security operations, which this partnership fosters. This allows clients to make informed decisions that improve their security risk profile and potentially influence their cyber insurance outcomes.
This strategic alliance between ReliaQuest and Aon is designed to navigate the complexities of cybersecurity and cyber insurance, offering solutions that empower organizations to effectively manage and mitigate cyber risks in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.
