What is Cyber Insurance?

Cyber Insurance helps secure your business from online threats. It gives business owners peace of mind and security against cyber-attacks, such as hacking, data theft, or ransomware.

Any businesses that have websites or computerized records are prone to accidental data breaches and cybercrime where the consequences can be exorbitant.

You could be up for the cost of ransoms or IT solutions to access and fix your systems depending on the situation, or you may be liable for the costs of disclosing the breach, legal claims, and rectifying any losses suffered by your clients or customers.

Keep in mind that a cyber attack or data breach may not only cost your business more than just money. It could also jeopardize your intellectual property, endanger your customers’ personal information and cause major disruption to your company’s reputation.

Following a cyber security breach, cyber insurance can help protect your business, your customers, and other parties from financial losses.
