Fast-growing insurance and fintech firm Acrisure announced a new cyber services division this week, a move that will allow the company to provide customers with a portfolio of solutions to help address some of the most pressing cyber risks.
The new division provides clients with an integrated offering that combines cyber insurance with vulnerability scanning, email and endpoint security, and backup and recovery services.
Headed by Bill Meara, who joins the company from private equity giant Abry Partners, Acrisure Cyber Services expands on the company’s existing products, including insurance, reinsurance, asset management, and real estate services.
Meara (President of the Cyber Services division) is joined by Adam Abresch, EVP of Cyber Solutions, who leads Acrisure’s Cyber Insurance Practice, along with Michael Amaral, Chief Revenue Officer, and Queena Kim, Director of Operations.
Jorel Van Os currently serves as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Acrisure.
