New Personnel for Belgium and Luxembourg: Adil Ozcelik

Cyber Resilience for the European SMEs

‍

As in Germany, Baobab Insurance focuses on prevention rather than mere claims settlement in the Benelux countries. Through its proprietary "Deep Scan" technology, the company identifies digital assets more effectively than conventional scans. Additionally, the technology identifies credentials—such as usernames and passwords circulating on the darknet or in public repositories—that are directly linked to the insured company's domain. Consequently, Baobab acts as an active technology partner that not only provides financial backing in the event of a claim but also sustainably strengthens the cyber resilience of the European SMEs and the upper industrial sector.
