Property and casualty (P&C) insurer The Hartford has partnered with email and data security firm Mimecast in order to bolster knowledge and foresight around the inherent risks of cyber.
The service, named Mimecast Awareness Training, is designed to help its customers reduce the risk of a cyber incident before it occurs.
The training, which covers topics such as ransomware, phishing, wire fraud, and password hygiene, includes video content as well as real-world phishing simulations and remediation for employees.
“Cyberattacks continue to evolve and are becoming more sophisticated,” said Tim Marlin, Head of Cyber Underwriting at The Hartford.
“Increasingly, employees are targets of complex phishing and social engineering attempts and may inadvertently cause damage by responding to an email that looked real to them.”
Training is available at no charge to select customers who have The Hartford’s CyberChoice First Response Policy SM and is available at a 20% discount to any other policyholder of The Hartford.
“While having technology-based cybersecurity solutions in place is critical, organizations must also educate their last line of defense – their employees,” said Michael Madon, Senior Vice President of security awareness products at Mimecast.
“We are proud to partner with The Hartford to help their customers manage their business risk and extend our mission of helping customers become more cyber resilient.”
