XL Catlin's cyber and technology insurance business in North America is adding additional computer forensic and legal resources to its network of prequalified breach response specialists to help clients respond quickly and cost effectively to breach incidents, the company announced.
XL Catlin's newest breach response partners include Mandiant, a FireEye company to provide computer forensics services, and Hunton & Williams LLP, Venable LLP, Troutman Sanders LLP, Alston & Bird, and Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, to provide additional legal counsel resources.
“A lack of preparedness during a cyber-attack not only runs up associated costs but also threatens a company's reputation and customer trust,” said John Coletti, the chief underwriting officer of XL Catlin's North America cyber and technology unit. “When an attack occurs and information is compromised, a timely and effective response is critical. Knowing where to go for the right help is equally critical.
“We continue to build alliances with market-leading breach response providers to give our clients access to the most comprehensive cyber response network available in our industry. Our network gives our cyber insurance clients more choices and greater flexibility, allowing them to choose expertise that best suits their needs.”
XL Catlin said that its data breach response network includes computer forensics, data breach notification and credit monitoring providers, legal counsel, and public relations firms to help clients navigate sensitive breach situations expeditiously.
