What is Cyber Insurance and do I need Cyber Insurance?
Cyber insurance protects businesses from online attacks and risks posed by the internet. It also covers risks posed by using your IT systems and internal operating systems. In addition, a good cyber liability policy will provide you with additional business support, such as the recovery of lost data and a business interruption cover if the breach has forced you to stop trading temporarily.
Cyber insurance is suitable for both new start-ups and larger established corporations. Our cyber liability insurance can protect you from scam emails, fraudulent invoices and more and full-scale cyber-attacks in your infrastructure. Suppose your business handles sensitive customer information such as, names, contact information, and bank details, or your company uses a computer. In that case, you should be protecting your customer data as this could be compromised in the event of a security breach. A recent report by the Federation of Small Businesses shows that two-thirds of their members were victims of cyber-crime between 2014 and 2016, so regardless of how big or small your business is, cyber insurance is necessary. Also, although cyber insurance isn’t a legal requirement, you have a legal requirement to protect your customers’ data, and the financial losses you may suffer need protection. From April 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) means a company can be fined up to €20 million or 4% of its turnover (whichever is the higher figure). Our team of trained cyber insurance experts can advise you on ways to protect your data and business. For more information or a quote, contact personallines@rivierainsurance.co.uk
Cyber insurance is necessary because traditional insurance policies do not cover 21st Century threats. For example, many standard business insurance policies cover property damage and a crime against physical assets like buildings, machinery, office equipment and real money only. Historically, there has been little to no protection offered under these policies for loss, theft of or damage to data, systems and electronic funds. However, most businesses now rely on digital assets, making a new kind of policy essential. Cyber protection insurance can cover you for a range of different security breaches, including: Data breaches following employee theft, Data breaches following the loss of a memory stick, Cyber business interruption, Denial of service attacks, Data breaches following hacking
Common Examples Cyber Crime against business
Cybercrime has seen significant growth in the form of high-profile ransomware campaigns in recent years. Personal data has been breached on a massive scale, leaving victims vulnerable to fraud. Additionally, lives were put at risk and critical services were disrupted by the WannaCry ransomware campaign that affected our NHS and many other large companies across the globe.
Criminal tactics are shifting towards businesses over individuals and although phishing attacks on individuals are increasing, fewer are falling victim as people have become more alert.
Cybercriminals exploit human or security vulnerabilities to steal passwords, data or money directly. The most common cyber threats include:
Hacking
including social media and email passwords.
Phishing
bogus emails asking for security information and personal details or payment.
Malicious software
including ransomware through which criminals hijack files and hold them to ransom.
Distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks against websites
often accompanied by extortion.
