Baobab Insurance is becoming Baobab Risk Solutions

Our new milestone for the digital resilience of SMEs

The digital threat landscape for European SMEs has fundamentally changed. Attackers are becoming more professional, IT infrastructures are growing more complex, and simply covering damages is no longer enough. To address this development and reflect our technological evolution, we are taking the next logical step: Baobab Insurance is now Baobab Risk Solutions.

Practical note: In our daily interactions, on our Baobab broker portal, and throughout all our communications, we will now also use the abbreviation BRS.

At the same time, we are expanding our portfolio with a crucial, optional security component for active threat detection and response: the new Baobab MDR service (Managed Detection and Response).

Our new name is a promise to the market: we offer more than just policies; we provide a holistic strategy against digital risks. For us, prevention, defense, and insurance form an inseparable unit for true digital resilience.

Why the rebranding to Baobab Risk Solutions? 

More than just cyber insurance

The name Baobab Insurance primarily described traditional risk transfer. However, our approach has always been deeply rooted in technology. As a leading European partner for managing digital risks, BRS seamlessly integrates preventive technology, active defense, and high-performance insurance coverage into a three-layer security architecture.

This positions BRS as a competent partner, especially for the mid-market and industrial companies, that understands complex digital threat landscapes, actively mitigates them, and provides reliable protection.

The answer to modern threats: The new Baobab MDR service

Traditional security concepts are increasingly reaching their limits. Modern cyberattacks are moving away from deploying conventional malware. Instead, attackers are using stolen identities or legitimate system tools (so-called "living-off-the-land" attacks). Standard antivirus programs are blind to these fileless threats.

This is exactly where the new Baobab MDR service comes in. It bridges the gap between technology and human expertise by combining advanced behavioral analysis with a 24/7 (24/7) Security Operations Center (SOC) – tailored specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises.

Baobab MDR performance metrics at a glance:

• Precise threat detection: By combining AI-powered filter logic with real sensor data from our Deep Scan and dark web monitoring, we reduce false positives to a minimum. As a result, our system operates 26% more accurately than standard market solutions.
• Minimized response time: In an emergency, every second counts. BRS detects and contains anomalies 50% faster.
• 99% detection rate: Our team of analysts stops attacks during the hackers' reconnaissance phase – long before any consequential operational disruption or financial damage can occur.

Our loss statistics confirm the success of this proactive approach: the frequency of ransomware attacks on our customers is already 77% below the market average.

An overview of our proprietary technologies

The new MDR service builds directly on the proven security features that customers and partners have already been using with Baobab Insurance:

• Deep Scan: Our in-house technology examines the digital footprint of companies 3.2 times more effective than standard scans. Outdated software versions and open security vulnerabilities are identified automatically. The result: BRS customers close dangerous security gaps 20 times faster than the market average (vulnerability remediation across the portfolio in an average of three days).
• Dark Web Monitoring: We scan the dark web and public data leaks specifically for compromised credentials linked to your company domain and sound the alarm immediately.
• Human element: Continuous phishing simulations and practical awareness training remain a standard, free part of our offering to minimize risk from human error and actively support prevention .

What changes for customers and brokers under BRS?

Protection becomes significantly more comprehensive, while processes remain as straightforward as ever.

• Existing contracts: All active policies for Cyber Safe (cyber insurance), Crime (fidelity insurance) and oneIT-protect (IT liability) will continue unchanged and under the usual terms. You do not need to take any action.
• For our broker partners: The Baobab broker portal remains accessible using your existing login credentials. Our customer-focused coverage concepts and rapid risk underwriting remain available to you without any restrictions.
• Security in the background: Our risk capacity remains backed by our first-class, A+ rated panel of capacity providers (including Lloyd's and SCOR).

Baobab Risk Solutions represents the future of digital risk management. We look forward to continuing to strengthen the digital resilience of companies together.
