SolCyber, a Forgepoint Capital company and the first modern MSSP for the midmarket announced a partnership with Converge, an emerging cyber insurance provider, to redefine cyber insurance for the mid-market.

Throughout 2020 and 2021, the number of cyberattacks against mid-sized businesses increased by at least fifty percent. With attacks on the rise, cyber insurance has become an essential for businesses to be able to operate effectively and profitably. Until now, companies were facing a complex, time-consuming application and approval process with soaring prices — recent research shows cyber insurance premiums have increased upwards of fifty percent, with some quotes jumping closer to one hundred percent.
“When you have great security, why isn’t that recognized by the insurance industry? We want to connect the two and solve the broader risk challenge for organizations,” said Scott McCrady, CEO at SolCyber. “It’s simple, keep customers protected with our Foundational Coverage, and reward that effort with easy and cost-effective cyber insurance.”
With the new offering, organizations are able to reach a foundational level of cybersecurity covering nine controls, that will demonstrate their reduced exposure, as these nine controls are considered by cyber insurance underwriters to be critical in protecting against ransomware and other debilitating incidents.
“SolCyber and Converge’s partnership is a game changer for organizations who must strengthen their security posture,” said Anthony Dagostino, CEO & Founder of Converge. “We’re excited to deliver much-needed peace of mind by helping these small and mid-sized organizations achieve the security they need at a price they can finally afford.”
