Cyber Insurance

Data security and the threat of cyber-attack are key risks for businesses in the digital age.

Our reliance on technology is growing all the time and the majority of businesses depend upon computers, portable devices, cloud computing, internet and emails to operate day-to-day. Today, even small organisations hold increasing amounts of data on employees and customers. What would you do if all your data was maliciously erased or corrupted and you cannot recover the data?

Cyber insurance can provide protection against your “cyber liability” for privacy breach or transmission of a virus, damage to your IT infrastructure caused by a cyber-peril (such as hacking attack, virus or malicious damage to your computer systems), cyber-threats or extortion and subsequent loss of profit. The risks are huge and are not covered by standard commercial insurance.
