What is Cyber Insurance and what does it cover?
Cyber insurance is a policy that protects businesses from the costs of claims resulting from Data Breaches. A cyber policy can also provide cover for other associated costs from a breach, such as; Forensic services, Response & Notification management, and even fines from the Information Commission Office (ICO) and more. Cyber insurance can even be used to accommodate losses sustained from Loss in Business Revenue, as you may be left unable to trade following a cyber breach. Hacker Damages can also be included as a result of the breach, and even extend to include for breaches as a result of other businesses that you work with, such as suppliers.
Cyber insurance is essential for any business in today’s modern world, with more connectivity and access to information. Now more than ever, cyber risks and similar exposures are emerging all the time as a result of this modern-day technology. Businesses cannot afford to take the risk and trade without cover against Cyber Risks, especially taking into consideration the changes in Data Protection Laws (GDPR).
