Pioneer Special Risk has added cyber coverage to its allied healthcare product line.

The new cyber suite offers protection against computer attacks, data compromises, cyber extortion, and other digital risks. Being a comprehensive coverage, it also addresses network security and identity recovery.

Insured allied healthcare entities will have access to the following:

• eRiskHub® - a risk management portal that aids effective response to data breaches and cyberattacks
• My Tech Support - offers free computer diagnostics, virus removal, technical assistance, and related digital security services
• Experts - particularly in the event of cyber extortion or data breaches

Jim Stewart, Pioneer Special Risk senior vice president of allied healthcare, noted that the risks emanating from cyberattacks have exponentially increased with the concurrent growth in interconnectivity and globalisation.

“Pioneer Special Risk’s additional cyber suite coverage provides comprehensive protection for allied healthcare entities; delivers coverage against complex, ever-evolving cyber risks; and provides access to our first-rate cyber experts,” he said.

Part of Pioneer Underwriters, Pioneer Special Risk brings broking solutions to US commercial lines of business with access to major US, London, and Bermuda carriers.
