# Assured Cyber Insurance Broker

> Cyber is a risk like no other and it requires the attention of a specialist. We provide exceptional planning, solid policies and security progression to protect businesses before, during and after a cyber incident.

Assured is the only insurance broker in the UK focussing solely on cyber. With many insurance lines to manage, the general insurance broker doesn’t have the time to manage a risk as complex as cyber. As the fastest evolving threat that technology-dependent businesses face, cyber insurance needs to be much more than a one-time box-ticking transaction that rarely delivers value. Assured turns ‘I think I’m covered’ into ‘I know I’m covered.’
