Obrela partners with Cysurance to launch the MDR Cyber Warranty, strengthening customer cyber resilience. September 30, 2026 OBRELA, a global provider of real-time, risk-aligned cybersecurity services, today announced a strategic partnership with Cysurance to launch the OBRELA MDR Cyber Warranty - an integrated cyber resilience programme that combines OBRELA's leading Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service with financial warranty protection and exclusive access to cyber insurance. The programme is designed to help organisations reduce cyber risk, strengthen financial resilience, and recover faster and with greater confidence following a cyber incident. As organisations face increasingly sophisticated threats alongside rising insurance costs and stricter underwriting requirements, cybersecurity performance and financial protection can no longer be managed in isolation. The MDR Cyber Warranty closes that gap: OBRELA's 24/7 MDR service, powered by the Swordfish Cyber Command Platform, continuously reduces the likelihood and impact of incidents, while Cysurance-backed warranty coverage provides meaningful financial recovery when qualifying incidents occur. "Cyber resilience is not measured by detection alone, it is measured by how quickly and confidently an organisation recovers," said Yannis Velitsikakis, Product Director at OBRELA. "By embedding financial warranty protection directly into our MDR service, we are doing something few providers are willing to do: standing behind the outcomes we deliver. Our customers gain a single, integrated programme where the same platform and expertise that defend their business also underpin their financial protection. It turns cyber risk from an open-ended exposure into something measurable, manageable, and insurable." Programme Benefits * Integrated Financial Recovery: Warranty recovery benefits help cover eligible out-of-pocket costs following qualifying cyber incidents, accelerating the return to business as usual. * Cost Efficiency: Certified security controls support lower insurance premiums, enabling organisations to reinvest savings into proactive security measures. * Regulatory Alignment: Bundled security and financial protection that supports compliance with industry regulations and evolving resilience requirements, including NIS2 and DORA. * End-to-End Resilience: Prevention, detection, response, financial protection, and recovery - unified within a single, risk-aligned programme. "Organisations today need more than cybersecurity tools - they need financial resilience when incidents occur," said Kirsten Bay, CEO and Co-Founder, Cysurance. "Our partnership with OBRELA brings together a proven, risk-aligned MDR operation and integrated financial protection, giving customers confidence not only that threats will be detected and contained, but that their business is financially protected for whatever comes next." Availability The OBRELA MDR Cyber Warranty is available immediately to qualifying Obrela MDR customers across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
