Coalition, a global digital risk and insurance provider, has announced the launch of its Active Cyber Insurance in France through its subsidiary, Coalition Insurance Solutions GmbH.
The launch aims to provide French companies with revenues of up to €1bn access to innovative cyber risk management and cyber insurance coverage on a primary basis, according to FF News.
As cyber threats continue to rise worldwide, Coalition seeks to equip businesses with the tools necessary to protect themselves from emerging risks while mitigating potential financial losses.
Coalition delivers comprehensive cyber risk protection by integrating insurance coverage with cybersecurity expertise, technologies, and services.
The company supports organisations in identifying, preventing, and responding to cyber incidents through a combination of insurance solutions and in-house technical expertise.
Coalition’s new Active Cyber Insurance enables French companies to assess and manage their cyber exposure proactively. The product offers comprehensive coverage for financial losses due to cyber incidents while also providing access to cybersecurity services such as employee security awareness training, managed detection and response (MDR), and continuous vulnerability alerts.
Through Coalition Control®, the company’s proprietary cyber risk management platform, policyholders receive real-time insights into threats, automated alerts for emerging vulnerabilities, and guidance to strengthen their cyber defences. The platform ensures businesses can act quickly to mitigate risks before they escalate into costly attacks. In addition, Coalition provides 24/7 claims and incident response support for rapid recovery.
Coalition also announced the appointment of Benjamin Barès as Head of Business Development for France to lead the new operations. Barès brings over 20 years of industry experience, most recently as Director of Direct Sales and Partnerships at Hiscox Assurances France. He will be supported by Frédéric Gatte, Director of Underwriting, and Production Underwriter Tom Paparella, with plans to expand the workforce in multiple French cities.
Coalition Head of Insurance, Continental Europe, Tine Simonsen said, “Coalition’s Active Insurance combines comprehensive cyber insurance with internal technical cybersecurity knowledge, technologies, and services for a completely integrated approach to risk. As global cyber threats grow, French businesses—small businesses especially—need an experienced and innovative insurance provider that not only helps mitigate financial losses, but also equips them with the cybersecurity tools necessary to better understand their risks, strengthen their defenses, and prevent future attacks.”
Barès added, “I’m thrilled to be joining Coalition, a trusted insurance provider for over 100,000 organisations and a partner to over 65,000 brokers worldwide. Our ambition in France—as around the globe—is to establish long-lasting relationships with brokers and agencies, supported by extensive training materials and broker-specific resources, as well as a streamlined quoting process that enables brokers to obtain quotes within minutes via our online Broker Platform.”
