Burns & Wilcox Canada Enters Exclusive Agreement with Node International for Comprehensive Cyber Liability Insurance

TORONTO, Oct. 24, 2017 /insPress/ – Burns & Wilcox Canada, a leading managing general agent in North America, announced today they have entered into an exclusive agreement with Node International to distribute comprehensive Cyber Liability insurance. Through this agreement, Burns & Wilcox Canada will be the sole wholesaler of Node’s Cyber Liability policy offerings, fusing cybersecurity tactics and insurance like never before.

For brokers interested in placing Cyber Liability coverage for their clients, an application process will show the vulnerabilities of a client’s IT system and provide a quote. With policy coverage, Node will provide 24/7 monitoring of their systems and fix any issues that may otherwise open a company up to a cyberattack.

“This partnership brings together Cyber Liability insurance and security for a true enterprise approach that is accessible to companies of all sizes, the way it should be done,” said Jodie Kaufman Davis, Corporate Vice President and Managing Director of Burns & Wilcox Canada. “Unique relationships like these – combined with strong attention-to-detail, unsurpassed service, and speed – are just a few of the many reasons why our Professional Liability Centre of Excellence and other groups within Burns & Wilcox Canada continues to trend upward.”

An offshoot of Charles Taylor Plc, Node International is a London-based provider offering policies that include both insurance and cybersecurity measures. The company is dedicated to digital, cyber, and technology-related insurance and reinsurance solutions, with a support network of 71 offices spread throughout the world.

“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, Burns & Wilcox. “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.”
