F‑Secure continues to expand into the insurance vertical with a new partner­ship that brings expanded identity protection and online security to the cyber insurance of la Mobilière for private individuals.

Helsinki, Finland – May 30, 2023: F‑Secure and la Mobilière, Switzer­land’s oldest private insurance company, are elevating the cyber insurance offering of la Mobilière for private individuals with enhanced identity protection and online security services.

Customers of la Mobilière will now receive F‑Secure Total protection as part of their cyber insurance for private individuals. In addition to a complete ID monitoring solution, Total secures personal data such as credit card numbers and banking credentials with virus and ransom­ware protection, browser and banking protection, and a VPN — all in a single app.

Adding complete, best-in-class identity and online protection will help the industry-leading cyber insurance offering of la Mobilière to stand out even more, said Kenneth Olander, F‑Secure’s Senior Business Development Manager. Customers looking to reduce risk will now have access to solution that will help them feel totally safe and relaxed on all their devices.

A recent F‑Secure survey found that more than eight out of ten, 81%, of internet users feel internet security is the most important part of a cyber care package, nearly doubling customers’ second and third choices, insurance, 47%, and education, 44%. 84% of consumers also expect home insurance to contain internet security and insurance for cyber crime, presenting the opportunity for insurance companies to extend their offering and respond to a growing consumer need.*

With F‑Secure Total, we complete our cyber insurance for private individuals in the best possible way, said Thomas Sonderegger, Head of Product Management House­hold Insurance at la Mobilière. Thanks to the combination of an extensive insurance coverage with added services, we not only help our customers in the event of a claim, we also enable them to be as well protected as possible against cyber risks.

F‑Secure’s survey also found that than seven out of ten consumers see insurance companies as trusted providers of internet security, slightly preferring insurers over both online and retail stores.

Insurers continue to embrace F‑Secure Total as a perfect companion to their cyber insurance offering, Olander said. Both the providers and their customers love how Total protects against the growing number of cyber threats that target financial data.
