Cybersecurity insurance Huntress and Acrisure launch simplified cyber insurance program May 13, 2026 Share By SC Staff Credit: Adobe Stock Images Huntress and Acrisure have partnered to introduce a new cyber insurance program designed to offer businesses a more accessible and straightforward route to cybersecurity protection. This initiative aims to simplify the process of obtaining cyber insurance, addressing the increasing complexity and volume of cyber threats, particularly those amplified by AI, with further coverage provided by Channel Insider. The program provides eligible organizations with access to unique Cyber or Tech Errors and Omissions (Tech E&O) insurance policies. A key feature is the absence of a deductible, coupled with a streamlined application process that bypasses the typical complexities associated with securing such coverage. This collaboration was motivated by the growing cyber threat landscape, including ransomware and business email compromise attacks. Acrisure highlighted Huntress's proven expertise in threat detection and response, supported by its 24/7 AI-centric Security Operations Center, as crucial for insurers to confidently underwrite policies. The offering aims to enhance risk management strategies by combining managed cybersecurity technology with insurance solutions, making protection more accessible for businesses.
