What exactly is cyber insurance?
Cyber insurance is a type of specialist business cover dedicated to minimising the impact of threats that come with using the internet. Such threats include cyber crime, which can take many forms, data loss, be it accidental or malicious, and privacy breaches.
Cyber insurance covers computerised attacks or incidents in which access to a network, device or system is disrupted or prevented, as well as incidents in which data is lost or privacy is breached. For example:
Phishing attacks
An unsuspecting employee might click a malicious link, locking everyone from the email system.
Ransomware
A hacker could infiltrate your system with ransomware and demand payment to return access.
Data Breaches
An employee may accidentally or maliciously share sensitive customer data.
Cyber insurance can assist financially in such instances, by funding recovery services and even helping with privacy liability costs if your business faces investigation.
Who is most at Risk from Cybercrime?
Cyber, data and crime insurance is particularly important if you:
- Hold sensitive customer data such as names, addresses or banking info.
- Rely heavily on IT systems and websites to conduct your business.
- Process card payment information.
