Adding financial protection to lower risk
for small to midsized businesses
Assurant, Inc. (NYSE:AIZ), global provider of risk management
solutions, is teaming up with website security company GamaSec to
significantly lower the risk of attacks on small and medium
business websites.
Assurant is providing support for the limited warranty issued by
GamaSec with its new GamaCyber website security offering. The
warranty helps businesses get back on their feet after damages from
website or web application attacks, including costs related to data
restoration, customer notification, credit monitoring, public
relations and more – up to $50,000 for impacted users.
“Small and medium businesses can run significant risks if their
websites and web applications are vulnerable,” said John Frobose,
senior vice president, Assurant. “As specialists in risk
management, we’re working with GamaSec to strengthen the resilience
of businesses in the event they fall prey to web attacks.”
“Customers are demanding cyber-security offerings that integrate
warranty protection at an affordable price,” said Robert Zimmer,
vice president, Strategy & Business Development, GamaSec. “With
Assurant’s support, GamaSec is introducing GamaCyber, an offering
that combines website security and a limited data-breach
warranty.”
The GamaSec partnership is the latest in a series of
technology-based innovations in risk management from Assurant,
which also safeguards millions of electronics owners, car- and
home-sharing customers, and small package shippers.
