“This is key in the field of cyber, which is ever-changing, disruptive and compels equally innovative solutions,” said Gow. “Threat actors are more tenacious now than ever and aren’t slowing down anytime soon. I’m excited to explore how the existing specialized capabilities at QuestGates can be further enhanced for incident reaction through to asset recovery, building tailored client-centric claims approach combined with a full-service financial lines market offering.”
