Aon, the British-American provider of insurance and pension administration, has brought in external specialists to help probe a "Cyber incident".

In addition to broader risk insurance options, Aon sells cyber insurance policies and related solutions to customers, including Cyber Risk Financing, Cyber Impact Analysis, Security Testing, Incident Response Retainers, and Stroz Friedberg Digital Forensics.

"We sit at the intersection of risk and coverage to help protect your organisation because cyber insurance is no longer just about a data breach," says the marketing blurb.

"Promptly upon our identification of the incident, we launched an investigation, and engaged the services of third-party advisors, incident response professionals and counsel," Aon added.

"The incident has not had a significant impact on our operations. We remain focused on out clients, and our ability to serve them has not been impacted by this event," the world's second-largest insurance brokerage said.

The cost of cyber insurance went up by 32 per cent in the year to June 2021, according to figures provided by global insurance brokerage Howden.
