TPS Partners with the Beazley Group and CrisisRisk Strategies for Enhanced Active Assailant Coverage
We are very excited to announce our partnership with the Beazley Group, and CrisisRisk Strategies.
This coverage is free of cost to *current and **new members! It is offered as an enhancement to our property/casualty coverages and meant to assist our members should they ever be faced with a tragic active assailant event. In addition to this, members have access to the Beazley member portal. The portal provides a range of training materials and resources to support members before, during, and after a crisis. These tools will help reduce and manage the risk associated with an active assailant event and respond appropriately should one occur.

Microsoft has issued a software update to address a global remote code execution vulnerability affecting the Microsoft Support Diagnostic Tool (MSDT) in Windows 7, 10, 11, and Windows Server — in other words, all Microsoft Windows devices. If exploited, this global vulnerability, known as “Follina,” enables threat actors to remotely execute arbitrary code, effectively enabling a full takeover of the affected device — allowing them to view, delete, install programs, and create new accounts on compromised systems. Microsoft has recommended that all customers update their systems to protect their devices from this vulnerability.
