Infosys sees a spot as insurance companies look to vet cyber infra of clients

MUMBAI: Software services exporter InfosysNSE 3.81 % is looking to win deals from insurance companies to assess the cyber infrastructure of potential clients before they firm up contracts.

While insurance companies are creating their own cyber security services arms, IT services providers are looking at winning deals that involve usage of technology to carry out due diligence and underwriting work.

Vishal Salvi, chief information security officer and head of cybersecurity practice at Infosys, said: “There are opportunities where we are at the early stages of exploration about looking at how we can collaborate with global insurance companies where they, for example, may call us to do due diligence on a particular client before they certify them for some cyber insurance.”
