NETSHIELD Corporation Partners With ZON Digital Insurance Integrating Cyber Insurance With Breach Prevention Technology for All New U.S. Clients
NASHUA, N.H., April 12, 2018 (Newswire.com) - NETSHIELD™ Corporation has announced its partnership with ZON Digital Insurance to include cyber insurance coverage bundled with its suite of cyber security solutions for the small and medium enterprise (SME) segment in the U.S. This unique InsurTech partnership is the first of its kind to offer end users a comprehensive protection package by combining NETSHIELD’s breach prevention technologies with Cyber Insurance protection underwritten by Assurant’s Voyager Insurance Company, AM Best rated “A,” “Excellent.”
NETSHIELD customers will have access to an automated dashboard that conducts a complete-system, end-point audit and color-codes threat identification throughout a “trusted LAN” environment. Once all potential network risks and vulnerabilities are addressed, an “All Green” report is generated and the system automatically connects with ZON Digital which will issue a certificate for up to $250,000 of cyber insurance coverage under the policy.
The pro-active, risk-management attributes of NETSHIELD'S technology suite change the fundamental characteristics of the risk profile of a corporate network. Instead of reacting to a breach and potentially significant data/financial losses, NETSHIELD is designed to prevent a breach from happening in the first place.

“We recognized the value in building comprehensive network protection into our product line, and that includes cyber insurance,” said Ed Wall, president and CEO of NETSHIELD. “Being able to market our products with built-in coverage from such a reputable partner as ZON Digital and Voyager is a key advantage. We’re thrilled to partner with them, in large part because of their innovative and disruptive approach to supporting this space.”
Wall also noted that NETSHIELD is the first cyber security technology manufacturer to bundle cyber insurance coverage with all its U.S. hardware products, making this InsurTech partnership especially unique.
