16 October 2025 - We’re proud to announce that Talanos Cybersecurity is partnering with Capsule Insurance, bringing together two organisations committed to helping scaleups and mid-sized businesses build resilience in a world of ever-shifting cyber risk.
Talanos, a pioneer of identity-led, proactive security operations, has partnered with Capsule based on a shared vision and commitment to helping customers strengthen their defences and reduce cyber risk. Together, the two companies are enabling growing businesses to strengthen both their technical resilience and their cyber risk readiness in an unpredictable threat landscape.
The evolving cyber risk landscape
We live in a world where the nature of both business operations and cyber attacks change constantly. A new customer initiative, a remote-work expansion, or a growth milestone can alter your risk profile overnight. The controls and tools that protect you today may not be enough tomorrow.
According to the UK government’s Cyber security breaches survey 2025:
- Just over four in ten businesses (43%) and three in ten charities (30%) reported having experienced any kind of cyber security breach or attack in the last 12 months.
- It is estimated that UK businesses have experienced approximately 8.58 million cyber crimes of all types including approximately 680,000 non-phishing cyber crimes in the last 12 months.
- The average self-reported mean cost of the most disruptive breach or attack among businesses in the last 12 months was £1,600 including those giving a £0 response (and £3,550 excluding £0 responses).
The Talanos Managed SOC defends customers on a 24/7 basis by preventing, detecting and containing incidents fast. But resilience goes beyond defence.
Even with strong, identity-led protection, the reality is that no organisation can eliminate risk completely. The cost and complexity of modern cyber incidents — from data loss to regulatory penalties or operational downtime — mean that insurance plays a vital role in financial continuity.
That’s why Talanos believes that cyber insurance is how responsible businesses close the loop between prevention and recovery.
Capsule Insurance – not your typical cyber insurance broker
What sets Capsule apart, and one of the reasons why Talanos has chosen to enter into a partnership with them, is their approach to rethinking cyber insurance for the scaleup era:
- Designed for growth
Capsule specialises in scaleups and mid-sized businesses. Their solutions reflect the realities of companies in motion, not just static enterprises.
- Clarity and speed over complexity
Capsule's cyber insurance solution makes it easy to get the coverage you need through a simple, straightforward, digital journey.
- Business-level conversations
Insurance that addresses the needs of boards, founders, investors, and risk leaders - bridging the gap between technical controls and financial continuity.
“Capsule is pleased to partner with Talanos to support businesses in strengthening their cyber resilience end-to-end” said Kirsty Milne, Cyber Partnerships Lead at Capsule Insurance. “We’re aligned in our view that cyber insurance should recognise and incentivise proactive security practices.”
What this means for Talanos customers
- Access to a trusted, specialist insurance broker who believes that cyber policies should recognise and reflect your business’s cyber security posture.
- A more complete cyber resilience strategy comprised of a fully managed, identity-led SOC service, plus financial assurance to protect both your operations and your balance sheet.
- Confidence to grow safe in the knowledge that your cover evolves with you as your business scales.
Cyber resilience isn’t just about defending what’s within your direct control.
Many of today’s most damaging breaches originate from suppliers, software vendors, and other third parties; areas where even the strongest internal controls can’t offer full protection.
Talanos helps customers reduce that exposure through robust Third Party Risk Management (TPRM), assessing and monitoring supplier security posture to identify weak links before they cause harm.
In the event that a supplier does fail, and the fallout impacts your business, that’s where cyber insurance solution steps in, covering the residual risk that sits beyond your operational boundaries. Together, Talanos and Capsule give growing businesses confidence that both foreseen and unforeseen risks are covered.
“We help our customers build mature, resilient security operations — often exceeding what’s typical for their size,” said Andy Papastefanou, CEO & Founder, Talanos Cybersecurity. “But even the best controls can’t always prevent disruption. Capsule complements what we do by providing a financial protection solution that keeps our customers operating confidently. True resilience means investing in both prevention and recovery — defending what you’ve built, and ensuring you can bounce back quickly and positively.”
