Intersys Opens Operations in India, Focus on Cyber Risks

The latest from Intersys;

Cyber security and IT services provider Intersys has launched operations in India with a focus on helping re/insurers and brokers grow their cyber insurance business by improving the cyber risk profile of policyholders.

Led by Tanmay Gore, Director of Intersys India, the Mumbai-based office is addressing a key challenge in the market: the difficulty of assessing and pricing cyber risk for organisations that often lack dedicated IT security resources. By offering resalable cyber security services — including baseline cyber risk assessments and continuous cyber monitoring to India’s corporate SMEs — Intersys enables insurers and brokers to offer policies with confidence, backed by data and risk controls.

The core of the proposition is twofold:

• Cyber Risk Assessments: Delivered as a “Cyber Security as a Service” offering, Intersys works with policyholders to assess cyber maturity and identify vulnerabilities before insurers bind a policy.
• Cyber Monitoring Services: Continuous oversight and threat detection ensure that insureds maintain their security posture throughout the policy term, reducing claims risk and enabling better renewal conversations.

This approach helps establish a clear security baseline and creates a feedback loop between cyber hygiene and insurance pricing – a vital step in a market where cyber losses are rising, but risk quantification remains difficult.

Matthew Geyman, Managing Director of Intersys, said: “Intersys clients in the UK are ten times less likely to suffer a cyber attack compared to the national average. Using cyber risk mitigation best practices developed in the UK, we’re launching Intersys India to give local brokers and underwriters the tools they need to support India’s SME corporate policyholders with practical cyber security services that directly improve their insurability. When clients are better protected, they’re a better risk – and that unlocks profitable growth for everyone.”

Dr. Prerna Tambay of Intersys India said, “There is a clear gap in the market to support India’s brokers and insurers in offering proactive cyber risk assessment and management services. Our model is proven in mature markets like the UK, where Intersys has a clear track record of embedding cyber security best practices within the insurance journey. For Indian insurance brokers and carriers, the offering unlocks new business potential among underserved mid-market corporates and supports efforts to increase cyber insurance penetration.”
