Acrisure UK, a retail insurance broking platform, and ESET, a channel-first cybersecurity vendor, have entered into a strategic cyber partnership.

Cyber insurance and security strategies converge

Through this agreement, the two organizations will provide clients with access to a broad range of support to boost resilience, manage risk, and respond effectively to incidents.

It combines Acrisure’s specialist cyber insurance capabilities with ESET’s cybersecurity expertise and services.

“Good cybersecurity and effective cyber insurance should work hand in hand,” said Acrisure UK Director Tim Wiltshire. “Organizations are increasingly looking at cyber risk as a business issue rather than simply an IT issue, and that requires a combination of prevention, resilience, and specialist insurance support.”

Acrisure UK works with enterprises across a variety of sectors, providing tailored solutions that address the financial and operational impact of cyber incidents. 

By combining deep expertise with strong insurer relationships, businesses will gain secure, appropriate protection as they navigate an increasingly complex risk landscape.

“We are proud to work with ESET as it is a highly respected name in cybersecurity and shares Acrisure’s commitment to helping organizations better understand and manage cyber risk,” said Wiltshire. “By working together, we can offer clients peace of mind while strengthening resilience against the growing threat of cyberattacks.”

ESET brings MDR and threat prevention to partnership

ESET provides next-gen threat prevention, detection, and response capabilities through its cloud-first ESET PROTECT platform. 

It also offers 24/7 managed detection and response services that combine AI and human expertise for advanced threat detection and proactive threat hunting – without needing in-house security specialists.

“Cyber threats continue to evolve at a pace that many organizations struggle to keep up with,” said Steven Connolly, product partnership manager at ESET UK. “While technology remains a critical part of the solution, businesses increasingly recognize that effective cybersecurity requires a broader risk management strategy.”

Connolly added: “Partnering with Acrisure allows us to introduce customers to specialist cyber insurance expertise from a trusted adviser that understands the challenges businesses face today. Together, we can help organizations bolster both their technical defenses and their overall resilience.”
