Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty is teaming with Zeguro, a Sillicon Valley-based software company, to help small businesses protect themselves against cyber attacks.

The collaboration calls for Zeguro to serve as a virtual Chief Information Security Office for small businesses-owners who purchase Allianz’s cyber insurance coverage to better manage their cyber exposure and reduce the risk of financial loss after a cyber attack.

By using Zeguro’s risk management platform, AGCS clients get complete control and oversight over their digital environment, via a modem and simple interface that guides them through areas of concern. It also trains the clients’ employees on best practices.

The idea is that clients, in using the Zeguro platform, no longer face the extra hassle and time needed to continually manage cyber risks connected to business technology, people and processes.

Allianz and Zeguro are making the benefit available at first to just U.S. clients.
