ANNOUNCEMENT: Upfort is Proud to Partner With Amwins

Upfort is proud to partner with Amwins in the launch of Cyber+, a proprietary cyber insurance solution designed to provide enhanced coverage, clarity, and proactive defenses for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Available exclusively through Amwins IQ, Cyber+ simplifies protection for businesses navigating today’s rapidly evolving cyber landscape.

Cyber+ offers higher limits for social engineering and invoice manipulation fraud, addressing two of the most costly and frustrating exposures SMEs face. But what truly sets this insurance offering apart is the integration of Upfort Shield, our AI-powered cybersecurity suite that proactively helps policyholders prevent attacks before they happen.

With Shield, Cyber+ policyholders gain access to enterprise-grade protection and training tools that make a measurable difference in reducing cyber incidents:

  • AI-powered email protection that blocks phishing, malware, and ransomware including screening for social engineering scams that other tools miss
  • Employee cyber training that turns staff into a proactive line of defense against phishing and human error.
  • Phishing simulations that teach employees to recognize and avoid scams in real-world scenarios.
  • Browser firewall extensions that secure web activity and block access to malicious sites.
  • Continuous vulnerability monitoring of systems with proactive alerts attached to remediation guidance and access to security experts

These defenses aren’t just theoretical benefits, they're delivering value to the industry today. A recent study conducted by a leading cyber insurer found that policyholders who implemented Shield protections had:

60% lower Gross Earned Loss Ratio

19% lower overall claim frequency

53% fewer funds transfer fraud claims

Zero ransomware claims

Even more impressively, businesses using the full Upfort Shield suite saw an 84% lower loss ratio, an 81% reduction in overall claim frequency, and zero instances of funds transfer fraud or ransomware claims.

By combining strong insurance coverage with proven, preventative cybersecurity tools, Cyber+ empowers SMEs to both withstand and reduce cyber risk. It’s a forward-thinking model for the future of insurance—where prevention and protection work hand in hand.

We’re thrilled to be part of this innovation alongside Amwins.
