AXA XL's New Cybersecurity Offering

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the need for robust cybersecurity measures has never been more critical. As organizations face increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, AXA XL, a front-runner in cyber insurance, is stepping up to the challenge. The company recently announced a strategic partnership with Fenix24, a leader in ransomware response and recovery, to provide a suite of proactive cybersecurity assessments tailored for their North American cyber policyholders.

Understanding the Partnership

This collaboration marks a significant shift in how organizations approach cyber risk management. As noted by Gwenn Cujdik, the Incident Response and Cyber Services Lead at AXA XL, simply having a cyber insurance policy is no longer sufficient. "Cyber risk demands more than just a policy," she stated, emphasizing the need for comprehensive tools to enhance organizational defenses and ensure resilience against cyber threats. AXA XL’s goal is to equip its clients with intelligent solutions that can strengthen their cybersecurity posture and facilitate quicker recovery from incidents.

Fenix24’s expertise complements AXA XL’s offerings well, aligning perfectly with the increasing industry emphasis on operational resiliency. According to Mark Grazman, CEO and Co-Founder of Fenix24, this partnership enables them to introduce impactful assessments that can help organizations close critical security gaps before incidents arise. The collaborative effort aims to empower businesses to mitigate risks proactively and enhance their recovery plans should they face a cyberattack.

Key Cybersecurity Assessments Offered

AXA XL’s new suite of assessments includes three industry-leading evaluations designed to cover essential aspects of cybersecurity for their clients:

1. Ransomware Backup Resiliency Assessment - This evaluation helps organizations identify which systems and data are protected during a ransomware attack. Clients will also gain insights into practical recovery timelines, ensuring they are prepared for any potential disruptions.

2. Firewall Hardening Assessment - This assessment focuses on recognizing and addressing vulnerabilities at the network's perimeter. By strengthening firewalls, businesses can significantly reduce their exposure to cyber threats from modern attackers.

3. Active Directory Hardening Assessment - By securing core identity systems, this assessment aims to prevent unauthorized privilege escalation through targeted enhancements. It equips organizations with the understanding necessary to safeguard essential user credentials and access controls.

Each assessment is available at a special discounted flat rate exclusively for AXA XL clients. This remarkable offer will remain effective throughout 2025, ensuring that policyholders can take full advantage of these vital services at reduced costs.
