Brit renews cyber consortium to meet growing demand

Brit Group has renewed its cyber consortium Brit Cyber Attack Plus (BCAP).

Led by Brit Syndicate 2987, the consortium offers comprehensive cyber coverage to clients on a bespoke basis, including cyber-triggered physical damage and business interruption via a single underwriting and claims agreement party.

BCAP has also increased its combined cyber limit up to $200m (£145.5).

Clients are able to access large standalone cyber limits through alternative capacity towers via Brit’s First 50 consortium and the new FI Cyber Max consortium, which was launched in 2026. 

Jon Sullivan, chief underwriting officer at Brit Group, said: “We are pleased to announce the renewal of BCAP, which continues to act as a strong example of Brit’s leadership and innovation in the cyber market.’’

James Bright, class underwriter for cyber property damage and cyber distribution at Brit Group, added: “BCAP’s bespoke coverage, aligned to all risks purchases, means Brit remains a key player in ensuring businesses remain resilient against a range of emerging threats.

”We are pleased to continue working alongside our capacity partners, brokers and their clients to maintain the London market’s reputation for leadership in cyber.”

Growing demand

First launching in 2016, the consortium was created to meet the demands of clients looking to broaden cyber coverage across their standalone cyber and all risks purchases.

Adam Taylor, class underwriter for cyber, privacy and technology at Brit Group, said: “With cyber attacks increasing in terms of frequency and severity, physical assets are becoming more vulnerable as industries turn towards digitalisation, resulting in growing demand for the protection of critical infrastructure, as well as industrial and manufacturing operations.

”Our innovation of BCAP to ensure that it continues to insure against such risks, while offering a full suite of traditional cyber coverage, means that BCAP is able to solve business-critical needs as a unique product in the market.”
