With large multinational and small businesses falling victim of Cyber attacks and hacking, the importance of Cyber Insurance has never been so significant.
A business is responsible for their own cyber security but having the right insurance policy in place means your business has the key support in place in the event of a cyber attack.
The main aim of Cyber insurance, like many other insurance policies, is to support your business with any financial losses due to a data breach or attack. This can also include covering any additional costs from the events such as paying for the investigation, crisis communication, legal services and refunds to affected customers.
What risks can Cyber Insurance cover?
- Customer notifications
- Recovering personal identities
- Data breaches
- Data recovery
- System damage repair
- Ransom demands
- Attack remediation
- Liability for losses
Many businesses believe that they don’t need Cyber Insurance because either they don’t operate online much or they have enough security barriers in place. However, a potential cyber attack can occur when you least expect it such as a hacker posing as someone who works in your IT support department and an employee giving them access to their computer, a link that you accidentally clicked on via an email or gaining access remotely through their expertise.
The potential is limitless and large companies such as British Airways have been attacked, so having the right cover in place is essential.
