Fox-IT Joins Forces with Verbond van Verzekeraars

Cybersecurity specialist Fox-IT has joined forces with Association of Insurers (Verbond van Verzekeraars) with the aim to improve the security and digital resilience of insurers and their customers. This collaboration with Fox-IT will enhance the ability of insurers to detect, prevent and manage fraud in the digitalising world and cyber incidents.

The signing of the partnership was accompanied by Richard Weurding, General Director of the Verbond whom expressed the significance of this collaboration:

Richard Weurding: “It’s fantastic that the Centrum Bestrijding Verzekeringscriminaliteit’s Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) can now join forces with Fox-IT. By integrating Fox-IT's knowledge and expertise into the i-CERT network, we are creating value for the more than 100 insurers that are already participating in the network.”

In addition, Fox-IT will focus on helping the insurers sector with further developing preventive measures with regards to identifying cyber incidents in an early stage and therefore respond effectively to prevent cyber crisis. Within the unit cybercrime, Fox-IT analyses cybercrime such as information theft, DDoS attacks and fraud by adopting the mindset of cybercriminals.

Ruud Bos, Managing Director of Fox-IT: “Through this collaboration we are contributing to a safer digital future. Not just by enhancing the resilience of insurers but also by helping insured companies improve their computer and network security. Both are essential in preventing societal disruption.”
