Helping you protect yourself online – quickly and easily

As a real estate professional, you don’t always have the time or technical skills to know how to protect your computer network from sophisticated hackers or fraudsters.

From phishing schemes to ransomware or malware attacks, research clearly shows that the volume and sophistication of attacks on computer users around the world are growing weekly. Keeping one step ahead of the people and groups hunting for quick ways to exploit a security vulnerability, can be a challenging and time-consuming job.

Bringing proven protection to E&O’s insureds

That’s why E&O is bringing our Cyber Guard loss prevention program, powered by the DynaRisk cyber security protection platform, to real estate agents and brokerages in BC, helping you take advantage of a team of behind-the-scenes experts.

Through their proven platform, DynaRisk protects hundreds of thousands of users around the world and allows E&O to offer BC agents and brokerages their step-by-step approach and guidance to improve your cyber safety.

The benefits of loss prevention

At E&O, loss prevention is an important part of our focus, helping agents and brokerages avoid preventable losses and claims. E&O’s Cyber Guard program is provided to all real estate licensees in BC at no additional cost and is available whether you’re:
