CYBER INSURANCE
Businesses and enterprises are becoming increasingly dependent on technology and have more and more personal data and information. They are increasingly becoming an attraction for cybercriminals. In practice, in fact, one in three businesses fall victim to cybercrime. When it comes to cybersecurity, cyber risk insurance is among the main ways to insure your business if this happens.
If your business is targeted by a hacker or has a security breach, you will need time and money to fix them. This can disrupt your business, lead to loss of turnover, damaged reputation and fines from regulators.
Your business needs cyber risk coverage in case:
You have information about customers, suppliers or employees, such as names, addresses, bank details or email addresses;
You use a computer to run your business;
You accept and make card or electronic payments;
You have a website.
