Beazley beefs up cyber leadership to drive international growth

Specialist insurer  Beazley has hired a new head of cyber services, international to further develop and enhance its risk management and incident response functions.

Christian Taube (pictured) joined Beazley in its Munich office from Contentserv where he was chief information security officer. Prior to that, he built the information security practice at DataGuard.

Taube’s recruitment follows the recent appointments of Russ Cohen as head of US cyber services and Bala Larson as head of client experience in February.

Raf Sanchez, global head of cyber services, said: “When you consider the ever-changing risk landscape, and specifically the sharp increase of ransomware in recent years, it is fair to say that maintaining good cyber hygiene should be a key priority for all businesses today. Business leaders also need to be confident that their risk management tools are up to the job, to further reduce their risk of falling victim to an attack.

“Providing clients around the globe with the tools they need to stay ahead of the curve from a cyber perspective remains a key goal for Beazley. I am delighted to welcome Christian into the fray to further support our rapid international growth in this area.”
