The cyber insurance landscape is highly competitive – so earning a top honour in the segment is certainly something to be proud of.
That’s why celebrations are due for Howden Broking Group, which has been named Risk Retail Broking Team of the Year at the Advisen Cyber Risk Awards.
The awards, the presentation of which was this year broadcast virtually from New York, are voted on by people’s choice and Shay Simkin, head of Howden’s global cyber practice, was thrilled to take the honour home remotely.
“Howden has long put cyber at the top of the agenda, having anticipated that this risk would be fundamental to clients,” Simkin said. “The award is a fantastic endorsement of Howden’s leading expertise worldwide in the field of cyber, particularly as it is clients and industry peers that voted for us. Our global team of cyber specialists remains focused on providing innovative solutions for our clients in the anticipation of the next cyber event, which is always just a matter of time. At Howden, we have the freedom and flexibility to deliver what is best for clients, and to seize the opportunity posed by wider digital trends in today’s fast-moving world.”
The recognition comes after the firm relaunched its cyber academy this year.
