Managing general agent Dual has expanded its ability to write larger cyber and technology risks after securing backing from a consortium of A-rated capacity partners led by Liberty. Dual said the deal allowed it to better support mid-market businesses.

In addition, Dual UK has teamed up with KYND to provide cyber risk management services such as active scanning and continuous monitoring.

Simon McGinn, CEO of Dual UK, said: “As the risk management landscape continues to grow and evolve, we’re increasing our capacity to support larger and more complex risks, while maintaining the trusted relationships and dependable solutions our insureds expect.”

Stephen Tompson, head of supercoverholders at Liberty Specialty Markets, added: “With the technological evolution of AI and increasing use of data centres, the cybersecurity market becomes ever more complex. It is therefore critical that customers have access to increased capacity and we are delighted to support Dual with access to capital.”
