Businesses in every industry face complex cyber risk, particularly the millions of small and midsize companies comprising much of Acrisure’s client base. Studies indicate approximately 43% of cyberattacks are aimed at small businesses. However, only 14% of small businesses are prepared to defend themselves. Additional pressures, including prolonged remote working, necessitate a complete easy to deploy solution that addresses the full spectrum of cyber risk.
“As risk advisors to millions of clients, we’ve heard countless times that cyber risk is a present and growing concern. In response, Acrisure Cyber Services delivers a solution for the full spectrum of cyber risk, from insurance to cybersecurity and data recovery,” said Greg Williams, Co-Founder, CEO and President of Acrisure. “We are excited to bring this new capability to market alongside our growing suite of products and services.”
Acrisure Cyber Services offers businesses an all-in-one solution addressing the most critical risks posed by cyberattacks:
- Risk Assessments: Real-time vulnerability scans enabling clients to see their organization’s cyber risks as hackers do.
- Insurance: Innovative coverage through an experienced, global and top-ten broker.
- Security & Antivirus: Streamlined deployment of advanced, AI-based security solutions that provide real-time threat prevention, detection and response.
- Recovery: Critical infrastructure in the wake of an attack, such as ransomware response, searchable back-ups and business resumption (revenue security).

Acrisure’s new division is led by Bill Meara, an entrepreneur whose prior companies generated in total over $5 billion in revenue.
