Now in its third year, the Advisen Cyber Risk Awards winners are determined by the largest number of votes received from members of the insurance community.

Chubb's Global Cyber Facility was named Cyber Risk Innovation of the Year. This is the second year in a row that Chubb has been honored with this award, which recognizes an innovation that has made an outstanding contribution to improving the way that cyber risk is managed.
