ACE Launches $100M Cyber Security Facility for Large Corporations

ACE Group has launched ACE’s Global Cyber Facility to offer cyber security insurance protection for large corporations.

ACE’s Global Cyber Facility provides up to $100 million of primary capacity and incorporates integrated loss control services provided by cyber security experts, a proprietary application process designed to assess an organization’s current risk profile, a specialized policy form, claims management, and ongoing, detailed analysis to help organizations detect potential weaknesses that could give rise to future cyber attacks. ACE’s Global Cyber Facility is available to eligible companies worldwide.

“Boards recognize that cyber insurance is a priority, but they also know that risk transfer isn’t enough. Risk managers are asking for a comprehensive strategy that helps them assess their cyber and data privacy risk, incorporates appropriate loss control services to mitigate losses before they happen, provides access to post breach services to assist them in the event of a breach, and offers higher limits to meet their coverage needs,” said Toby Merrill, Division senior vice president, Global Cyber Risk Practice, ACE Group.

  • Business Interruption Calculation, which calculates the financial outcome based on the organization’s ability to withstand and recover from interruptions in network operations.
