Aviva, a leading insurance provider, and RiskEye, a digital risk management specialist, have joined forces to enhance Aviva’s cyber insurance offering.
The partnership aims to address the growing need for online risk and reputation support in the face of cyberattacks and malicious online content, according to Insurance Business Mag.
Aviva recognises the importance of protecting businesses’ reputations, considering them invaluable assets vulnerable to negative online comments and misinformation.
The partnership between Aviva and RiskEye aims to offer businesses round-the-clock support, crisis management, preventive advice, and platform monitoring to mitigate the impact of online threats on their reputations.
With approximately 28% of UK businesses having experienced reputational harm due to negative online posts, the collaboration seeks to empower businesses to navigate the digital landscape safely.
Speaking on the partnership, Stephen Ridley, head of cyber insurance at Aviva, stated, “Cyberattacks are well known for disrupting a business’s operations, but little has been done to support a business’s reputation in the wake of malicious online comments or misinformation.
“Yet an organisation’s reputation is one of its most valuable assets. That’s why we wanted to integrate an online risk and reputation helpline that will support businesses of all sizes with their online reputation in the face of malicious content.”
RiskEye chief executive Sarah Holland added, “Every day, thousands of businesses suffer online harm. Fortunately, help is now at hand to keep everyone safer. People need experts who have solutions, in real time.
“In partnership with Aviva, we provide a round-the-clock helpline so that people can call and talk directly to RiskEye when they notice the early warning signs of harm or when they are in crisis. This partnership ensures Aviva customers now have peace of mind knowing they have a digital expert at their side to resolve online harm and protect their reputations in the digital space.”
