Capitalising on Tarian’s wide international footprint, Corvus is unlocking a new strategic opportunity for expansion and entering the international market to underwrite cyber insurance policies globally.

“We founded Tarian as a group with extensive market experience that saw an opportunity to set up a customer-centric company that was focused on entrepreneurial and tailored solutions to improve the standard of cyber and technology insurance risk,” said Geoff Pryor-White, CEO of Tarian. “Now as a part of Corvus, and with greater access to its data-driven insurance technologies, we can continue our founding mission and support our policyholders as one, dynamic team.”

The loss, compromise, or theft of electronic data can have a negative impact on a business, including the loss of customers and revenue. Businesses may be liable for damages stemming from the theft of third-party data. Cyber liability coverage is important to protect businesses against the risk of cyber events.

Cyber insurance policies can help cover the financial losses that result from cyber events and incidents. In addition, cyber-risk coverage helps with the costs associated with remediation, including payment for the legal assistance, investigators, crisis communicators, and customer credits or refunds.
