’Good cyber security and effective cyber insurance should work hand in hand,’ says director
Acrisure UK has entered into a partnership with cybersecurity company ESET as organisations seek greater support in managing increasingly complex cyber risks.
The agreement brings together Acrisure UK’s cyber insurance expertise with ESET’s cybersecurity capabilities, creating a combined proposition aimed at helping businesses strengthen resilience and respond to cyber incidents.
Acrisure UK said the partnership reflects growing demand from organisations looking for support that addresses both the technical and commercial implications of cyber attacks.
The broker’s cyber specialists work with clients across a range of sectors, providing insurance solutions designed to mitigate the financial and operational impacts of cyber incidents.
Tim Wiltshire, director at Acrisure UK, said: ”Good cyber security and effective cyber insurance should work hand in hand. Organisations 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.
“We are proud to work with ESET as it is a highly respected name in cybersecurity and shares Acrisure’s commitment to helping organisations better understand and manage cyber risk. By working together, we can offer clients peace of mind while strengthening resilience against the growing threat of cyber attacks.”

Steven Connolly, product partnership manager at ESET UK, said: “Cyber threats continue to evolve at a pace that many organisations struggle to keep up with.
”While technology remains a critical part of the solution, businesses increasingly recognise that effective cybersecurity requires a broader risk management strategy.
”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 organisations bolster both their technical defences and their overall resilience.”
The agreement highlights the increasingly close relationship between cybersecurity providers and cyber insurers as businesses seek more holistic approaches to cyber risk management.
