AXA XL launches cyber assessment services in North America
AXA XL has introduced cybersecurity assessment services for its cyber insurance policyholders in North America. The insurer launched these services in collaboration with Fenix24, which specialises in ransomware response and recovery. The suite of assessments available to AXA XL's clients includes a Ransomware Backup & Resiliency Assessment to evaluate an organisation's preparedness for a ransomware attack by identifying which systems and data are resilient and establishing expected recovery time frames. Fenix24 CEO and co-founder Mark Grazman said: "Partnering with AXA XL allows us to bring battle-tested assessments to the front lines, before an incident occurs, so we can help organisations close critical security gaps, reduce business risk and bounce back faster if they are ever hit." Another service is the Firewall Hardening Assessment, which looks to pinpoint and rectify vulnerabilities in an organisation's network perimeter defences. The third service offered is the Active Directory Hardening Assessment, strengthening the security of essential identity management systems to avoid unauthorised access by implementing targeted enhancements. AXA XL clients can access each assessment at a discounted flat rate through 2025. AXA XL incident response and cyber services lead Gwenn Cujdik stated: "By teaming up with Fenix24, we are giving organisations powerful new tools to boost their defences, speed up recovery and stay resilient against today's cyber threats. This is about helping them stay resilient – no matter what comes their way." Recently, AXA XL named Sylvain Bouteillé as the new chief underwriting officer for its Specialty Americas division. Bouteillé will oversee the development and execution of the regional strategy for the Specialty insurance unit.
