Pro Global launches cyber audit practice

Pro Global Holdings, an independent consultancy and service provider, has announced the launch of its cyber audit practice, which was developed to support the insurance industry’s response to cyber risk. The practice is headed by Richard Robertson, Pro Global’s head of information security, and was launched in partnership with cyber and information-security firm Cyber Security Services (CSA). Pro’s cyber audit practice will utilize CSA’s security intelligence and operations, which will provide 24/7 automated technical monitoring. “Cyber risks are frequent, severe and systemic – a trio of significant and evolving challenges for the insurance industry to respond to,” Robertson said. “Through the launch of our cyber risk practice, we are directly addressing the demand for more comprehensive audit services, and firmly believe that through implementation of a ‘no stone unturned’ approach combining current best practices with mitigating controls, insurers can reduce exposure to both major incidents and minor cybercrime.”
