Digimune, a global leader in digital risk protection, has entered the Australian market through a strategic partnership with AWN Insurance, an established insurance provider and Lloyd’s coverholder. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in cybersecurity protection as Digimune brings its leading digital risk solutions to businesses across Australia.

With AWN Insurance, a partner with more than 30 years’ experience in the Australian market, Digimune’s cyber protection plan product and digital risk solutions will be available to individuals and businesses, providing a critical safeguard against growing cyberthreats.

This move also coincides with the launch of Digimune Australia and the appointment of Anthony Cooper as regional MD.

Escalating threats in Australia

Cyberthreats are escalating at an unprecedented rate, targeting individuals, businesses and even major corporations. From social media takeovers and identity theft to deep web threats and phishing scams, the risks have evolved far beyond traditional cybersecurity measures.

Australia has witnessed a sharp increase in cybercrime, with data breaches, digital fraud and impersonation scams costing businesses and individuals millions annually. However, affordable protection solutions for digital risk remain limited, creating a gap in the market.

By partnering with AWN Insurance, Digimune is addressing this challenge head-on. This partnership brings:

Comprehensive digital risk protection: Covering social media, deep and dark web threats, domain security, and business identity protection.
Cyber protection plan solutions: Offering financial compensation for digital fraud, providing a first-of-its-kind safety net for Australians impacted by cybercrime.
Scalability through AWN Insurance’s network: Expanding digital risk solutions through brokers and selling agents across the country.

For Digimune, securing protection coverage in Australia was a 24-month endeavour. This rigorous process ensures that Digimune’s guarantee solution complies with Australia’s financial services regulatory landscape, reinforcing trust in the offering.
