Kristen Dauphinais, head of US middle market cyber & technology at Beazley, said: “Cyber and data breaches pose an evolving threat to companies and are extremely difficult to manage alone. We partner with our clients and brokers to provide risk transfer and risk management support that will mitigate and reduce the impact if a breach does occur and, crucially, help avoid a loss in the first place.
“Our growing team of underwriters work closely with brokers and clients to ensure we offer differentiated cover and protection. I am delighted to welcome Cory, Zack and Sean to the team.”
