Marsh and Resilience launch Cyber Protect to boost Asia's cyber resilience

As cyber threats continue to escalate in Asia, particularly driven by advanced AI technologies, Marsh and Resilience have launched a new offering, Cyber Protect, aimed at bolstering organizational cyber resilience. This innovative program, which is now available exclusively through Marsh in Asia, combines Marsh’s expertise in cyber insurance placement with Resilience’s Risk Operations Center (ROC), a 24/7 proactive cyber risk monitoring and detection service.

The launch of Cyber Protect comes at a critical time, as only half of Asia-based organizations express confidence in their current cyber risk management strategies, according to Marsh’s Cyber Buyer Study. The study revealed that this is the lowest level of confidence globally, significantly below the worldwide average of 72%. Additionally, almost 30% of cyber and social engineering attacks globally target Asia, highlighting the urgent need for enhanced cyber resilience and early threat detection.

Sean Letz, Marsh’s Cyber Leader for Asia, emphasized the importance of proactive measures in the face of evolving cyber threats. "Prevention alone is no longer sufficient. Managing cyber risk today requires the ability to detect and respond to threats early, as well as the financial protection to recover from incidents," he stated. "Cyber Protect is designed to help clients identify critical vulnerabilities earlier, take action faster, and strengthen their risk profile, ultimately supporting stronger resilience, improved insurability, and greater confidence in recovery."

Mario Vitale, President of Resilience, added, "Asia represents one of the most important developing cyber risk markets in the world, and we are proud to be bringing this unique solution to market with Marsh. Our platform continuously hunts for threats across clients’ external attack surfaces, prioritizing the vulnerabilities most likely to cause financial harm before an attacker can act. Asian businesses now have access to that capability — together with the expertise of one of the world's most trusted insurance partners."

Cyber Protect is specifically designed for organizations that purchase cyber insurance through Marsh. The offering includes Resilience’s ROC, which is a core component of the program at no additional cost to clients. The ROC is an AI-powered monitoring service that actively hunts for zero-day vulnerabilities and scans a policyholder’s external-facing infrastructure for known vulnerabilities, exposed high-risk remote services, insecure remote access points, and dark web exposure. It cuts through the noise of traditional security alerts, providing actionable remediation advice to stop threats before they become incidents and result in losses.

Resilience’s ROC screens out roughly 95% of known vulnerabilities as low risk, escalating only the small number that pose a real, exploitable threat. Historically, clients have remediated 77% of those escalations, further reinforcing the effectiveness of the program.

Marsh, a global leader in risk, reinsurance, and capital management, operates in 130 countries with annual revenue of $27 billion and more than 95,000 colleagues. The company helps build the confidence to thrive through the power of perspective. Resilience, founded by experts from the US military and cybersecurity industries, offers risk quantification software, cybersecurity experts, and highly rated insurance solutions tailored for large and middle-market organizations.

The availability of Cyber Protect across Asia, excluding China, positions it as a critical tool for organizations looking to protect against the growing cyber threat landscape. With the combined efforts of Marsh and Resilience, companies can now better safeguard their digital assets and operations, fostering a more secure and resilient cyber environment.
