Ascent Underwriting, a specialist niche-product managing general agent, has extended its CyberPro Regulatory Billings product to cover social engineering and computer crime, and also now offers the cyber modules of coverage on a nil deductible basis.

Nil deductible policies and access to partner vendors to handle breach response, computer forensics, and legal counsel ensure clients incur zero cost at the point of claim, while receiving the advice to close claims incidents quickluy.

Ascent is an MGA underwriting on behalf of a number of Lloyd’s Syndicates.
