XL Catlin is marketing a new online portal as a way to help its clients better address cyber breaches.

Resources offered through CyberRiskIQ.Com range from service details to cyber-related news and security stories and risk management recommendations. The portal would go in tandem with the insurer’s cyber insurance coverage, which is tailored for businesses across a number of industries. The policies address data protection and privacy risk, both for third-party claims and first-party mitigation costs after a technology or cyber event.

“Industry and world leaders are calling upon company executives and governing boards to make cybersecurity a top priority. As a result, our clients need to be prepared to respond to the latest threats and more importantly, to have the resources to help them successfully navigate potentially catastrophic circumstances,” John Coletti, chief underwriting officer for XL Catlin’s Cyber & Technology Group in North America, said in prepared remarks.
