Canopius is a market leading Cyber Insurer. In 2023, we in-sourced our cyber incident response service. The service is used by businesses with a cyber insurance policy from Canopius to receive immediate assistance in the event of a cyber incident. These incidents can be crippling for businesses and include business email compromise attacks, ransomware, social engineering events and many other scenarios. The Incident Responders arrange assistance from our panel of expert service providers (IT, legal, PR, etc) and then project manage the recovery efforts. They are a key front-line service relied upon in business-critical situations.
The Incident Responders work as a global team (with teams located in Sydney, London, and Chicago) to provide 24/7 coverage of new incidents. They are also part of a wider cyber claims team located in London, Chicago and New York. Incident Responders collaborate with the claims team to allow the claims team to assess the insurance position of new incidents. Incident Responders will also provide feedback for underwriters on emerging trends.
The Senior Incident Responder will be responsible for the proactive management of cyber incidents impacting our primary policyholders. They will be a key support of the CIMT Team Leads in London, Sydney, and Chicago in delivering a high quality service and the continual evolution of the offering. They will also provide sales support for our underwriters.
