Precursor Security announces partnership with JM Glendinning Insurance Brokers
Leeds-headquartered Precursor Security today announces a partnership with JM Glendinning Insurance Brokers to deliver a ground-breaking approach to the UK Cyber Insurance market.
Precursor CEO Scott Cardow, (pictured here with Precursor Technical Director Jordan Carter, Director of Security Operations Centre Michael Lamb and Andy Parkin from JM Glendinning), said, “Today we are announcing a partnership with JM Glendinning Insurance Brokers, which offers clients working with Precursor up to a 10% discount on Cyber Insurance policy costs. This arrangement makes absolute sense for all parties as clients not only receive improved Cyber Security but also benefit from reduced Cyber Insurance costs. This is as a result of insurers recognising the reduced risk of a breach when working with a skilled Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) such as Precursor.”
JM Glendinning Cyber Insurance Director Andy Parkin said….
“We have been working with Precursor for over 18 months now and it has been obvious how much their services can improve the Cyber Security posture of the organisations they work alongside.
We have come to an agreement with AVIVA, whereby clients can get a discount of up to 10% from their Insurance Policy premiums, when Precursor are being used for their Cyber Security. The Insurance Industry working together with MSSP’s is something which we are confident the market will see more of in the coming years, and everyone involved is excited to be at the forefront of this proactive approach to Cyber Insurance “.
Precursor Technical Director Jordan Carter said “We have seen first-hand the benefits a good Cyber Insurance policy can bring to an organisation, when it is in place alongside strong Cyber Security technical measures. The two complement each other and bring additional peace of mind and a mature approach to mitigating the risk of a Cyber-attack. Our team built the attack surface management tool, Edge Protect. Edge Protect is helping customers everywhere , by mapping out the parts of infrastructure that hackers can see and potentially exploit, and also the parts of the infrastructure our clients didn’t even know was in place (shadow IT). Edge Protect also gives clients a report they can use when discussing Cyber Insurance with their Insurers, which includes a section where Edge Protect has found known vulnerabilities.”

This growth includes investment in a 24×7, 365-days-a-year Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) based in Newcastle. Led by Michael Lamb, Precursor’s Director of Security Operations.
