Allianz Partners, a world leader in insurance and assistance services, has announced the launch of allyz Cyber Care, as it looks to protect customers against cyber threats.
The move has been driven by the increasing threat of cybercrime, which has become the number one concern for both businesses and customers, according to the Allianz Global Risk Barometer.
This new solution seeks to address these concerns by providing holistic, end-to-end protection for users.
This digital offering combines prevention security services, assistance services, and insurance benefits, offering a comprehensive protection package for users.
The product includes various prevention security services, such as a private VPN, safe browsing, antivirus protection, online identity protection, password vault, and parental control.
Additionally, it offers e-reputation intervention to help with online identity theft and cyber bullying. The insurance component covers monetary damages from online banking fraud and issues with online shopping deliveries and returns. Data recovery services are also available for damaged devices.
Allyz Cyber Care is currently available in Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands, with plans for a global rollout. This innovative solution aims to provide peace of mind for customers by preventing cyber threats and offering assistance when needed.
Genoveva Perez-Lijo, global head of Easy Living and Mobile Device and Digital Risks (MDDR) at Allianz Partners, said, “We know the vast majority of our customers go online daily for their everyday tasks, so protecting those customers and their digital selves is a huge priority for us. allyz Cyber Care is a digital, holistic, yet simple solution for cyber threats, which we know are one of the biggest concerns for our customers.

Likewise, the last Allianz Partners Customer Lab research found 41% of global consumers feel at risk of cybercrime and 33% had already experienced cybercrime within the previous 12 months.
