Generali has joined forces with Accenture and Vodafone Business on the creation of cyber insurance services designed to help corporate and SMEs clients more effectively recognize, respond to and recover from cybersecurity threats and incidents.

Aegon, the Dutch insurer, said on Wednesday it has struck a deal with Reinsurance Group of America (RGA) to hedge the risk that people in its Dutch pensions business will live longer than expected.

The five-year deal will see Zurich provide sole underwriting capacity for UK business from 1 November, replacing previous insurer MAPFRE.
