What sets us apart
Our Threat Intelligence capability stands at the forefront of cyber risk management, powered by expert analysts and the latest technology. Built upon the rich data collected by our dedicated cyber incident management team, supplemented by premium threat intelligence feeds and platforms, we offer a unique and comprehensive view of the cyber threat landscape.
We firmly believe that the fusion of threat intelligence with our claims data provides an unparalleled perspective on cyber risk, enabling us to not only refine our underwriting processes but also to share invaluable insights with our clients.
We use our threat intelligence capabilities to work with our clients, aiming to significantly reduce their cyber risk and secure their digital operations.
- Flexible & Data-Driven Underwriting: Threat Intelligence empowers our underwriters to perform more accurate risk assessments, offering clients more precise and cost-effective coverage. Threat Intelligence bolsters the expertise of our underwriting team, enabling more ‘creative’ underwriting of risks that have unique exposures.
- Control Guidance: At Canopius, we don’t believe in a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach – each organisation has its own unique exposures, risks and threats. We use threat intelligence to calculate the optimal control set for an organisation and we can share this guidance with applicants or policyholders upon request. This guidance can help support an organisation’s efforts to minimise its exposure in line with its evolving threat landscape.
- Threat Reports & Webinars: Insights from our threat intelligence capabilities are reported through threat reports and webinars. Furthermore, tailored threat intelligence reports include additional attack surface management findings, attacks and campaigns targeted against a company’s peers, cyber threat benchmarking, leaked credentials, and dark web chatter.
- Cyber Incident Management: Our cyber incident management team leverages threat intelligence to expedite response times and provide informed strategies for threat mitigation.
- Outside-In Scanning: We use our threat intelligence to contextualise and prioritise the findings of our outside-in scanning solution, BitSight. By doing so, we transform raw data into a strategic plan for managing an organisation’s attack surface.
- Our Proactive Cyber Services: Each of our services – whether a table-top exercise, roadmap development exercise, or a training session – is informed by our threat intelligence capabilities. We are moving away from ‘following the crowd’ and use our proprietary threat intelligence function to guide strategy and our advice.

FAQs
What is the difference between proactive and reactive cyber security?
Proactive cyber security involves measures taken to prevent cyber threats before they occur. This includes activities such as threat intelligence, penetration testing, and regular updates to antivirus software. Reactive cyber security, on the other hand, focuses on responding to and mitigating the impact of cyber attacks after they have happened.
What are the benefits of proactive cyber security
Proactive cyber security provides numerous benefits, including early detection of potential vulnerabilities, reduced risk of data breaches, and minimised business interruption. Activities like penetration testing and utilising advanced antivirus software help in identifying and mitigating threats before they escalate.
What are the common misunderstandings of proactive cyber security
A common misunderstanding of proactive cyber security is that it is unnecessary if reactive measures are strong. However, proactive measures, such as penetration testing and continuous monitoring with antivirus software, are essential to prevent attacks before they happen. Another misconception is that it is too costly, but the investment can save significant costs associated with data breaches and business interruptions.
