AXIS sponsors UK-based Cyber Helpline

AXIS Insurance is providing a year-long sponsorship for UK-based The Cyber Helpline, a resource that helps individuals impacted by cyber attacks.

AXIS and The Cyber Helpline will share their expertise and raise additional funds to support more cyber security victims.

The scale and severity of cyber crime has increased rapidly over the last 12 months and The Cyber Helpline has seen a 362 percent increase in cases compared to the previous 12 months.

Victims who contact The Cyber Helpline can liaise with a chatbot that provides anonymous expert advice at any time. They can also connect directly with expert volunteers from the cyber security community, who help them understand what has happened and how to contain the issue and improve security against future incidents.

Stuart Quick, Cyber Centre of Excellence lead for cyber and technology at AXIS, said: “This sponsorship provides an opportunity to leverage our experience in handling complex cyber risks to help individuals who have been victims of cyber attacks.”

Rory Innes, founder and chief executive officer of The Cyber Helpline, said: “The sponsorship from AXIS will ultimately enable us to support more victims, gain a deeper understanding of cyber risks and access a wider team of experts.”
