In the aftermath of the world's largest ever global IT outage, which was caused by a faulty software upgrade by cyber-security firm CrowdStrike, specialist insurance underwriter Beazley expects more business opportunities in cyber risk insurance.
The FTSE 100-listed firm's chief executive officer Adrian Cox said the CrowdStrike incident tested Beazley's approach to underwriting cyber risk, but he said it had proved to be highly resilient.
Beazley topped the FTSE 100 gainers, jumping 10.8 per cent, or 68.5p, to 705.5p as the company, which manages six Lloyd's of London syndicates, reported record first- half profits as insurance written premiums rose by 6.9 per cent.
After the strong first-half performance, the Beazley boss said the firm sees cyber risk opportunities in the remainder of the year and is confident in delivering on its high single digit full-year growth guidance.

Gold prices slipped further from record highs, leading precious metal miners to retreat.
Among them, Endeavour Mining added 0.1 per cent, or 1p, to 1553p hit by a price target cut from analysts at Berenberg.
