AXIS and Elpha Secure provide cyber insurance and software protection to small businesses

AXIS Insurance and Elpha Secure announced a strategic partnership to provide cyber insurance and software protection to small businesses to help improve their cyber security.

Elpha Secure offers Elphaware, a Software as a Service (SaaS) application used to mitigate the risk of common cyber threats. Elphaware provides small and micro businesses with the cyber security tools and protections that are expected in today’s marketplace.

“Today’s small businesses have a need for efficient, effective solutions to manage their cyber risks,” said Dan Trueman, Global Head of Cyber and Technology at AXIS Insurance.

“Cyber risk mitigation requires sound insurance solutions balanced with resolute cyber security for the resiliency of small businesses and for long-term stability.

“The Elpha Secure team are innovators, having brought critical cyber risk mitigation solutions to small enterprises and micro-sized businesses.”

Elphaware provides small business owners with a suite of cyber security tools that work alongside existing security measures in a single, simple installation.

The software has five primary features:

• Secure, encrypted backups of critical data
• Multi-factor Authentication for remote access
• Ability to restore compromised systems in hours
• Creation of a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
• Insider threat and anomaly detection

Elphaware provides its users with fundamental cyber protection from social engineering and malware attacks, such as ransomware, and enables small businesses to recover quickly in the event of an incident.

“The entire Elpha Secure team is excited to work with AXIS,” said Preetam Dutta, Chief Executive Officer at Elpha Secure. “Together, we can help protect businesses from cyber criminals. We know cyber security is hard. Elpha Secure makes it easy.”
