Cyber Resilience Solutions

Cyber exposure isn’t a tech risk, it’s a business risk.

Welcome to the new era of cyber risk. Responsibility no longer falls exclusively on a single department. From supply chains and infrastructure, to facilities and data, risk managers must now deal with cyber-based threats that potentially affect an entire business—enterprise-wide. And the more businesses depend upon data and technology, the more exposed to cyber-induced business interruption they become.

Building cyber resilience requires aggressive new tools—and powerful new thinking. In the FM Global tradition of addressing risk head on with science, engineering and research, we take an advanced, holistic approach to cyber security. This includes dedicated cyber research, engineering and underwriting units, each headed by leading cyber experts. All in-house—with zero outsourcing—to maximise efficiency and assure consistent FM Global-level quality, precision and performance.

Resilience meets the digital age.

FM Global has provided comprehensive cyber coverage to our clients around the world since 1999. Today, our enhanced Cyber Resilience Solutions build upon that heritage, combining the elements of risk transfer with powerful risk assessment and mitigation strategies. This creates a broad, 360-degree cyber strategy that goes beyond the defensive posture of coverage to proactively measure and prevent potential cyber exposure and maximise business resilience.
