The policy that Burns & Wilcox Canada is making available to brokers is designed for small to medium-sized business clients. It includes an application process that will demonstrate the vulnerabilities of a client’s IT system and then provide a quote. Node provides policyholders with constant monitoring of their systems and assistance in fixing issues that may open up a company to a cyber attack.

“This is service rarely seen in the small to mid-sized space,” said David Derigiotis, corporate vice president and director of the Professional Liability Centre of Excellence at Burns & Wilcox, in a statement. “Adding the expertise of Node International to our highly-specialized group will not only provide more security, but peace-of-mind for our partners and their clients.”
