What is cyber insurance?
A cyber insurance policy also referred to as “cyber risk insurance” or “cyber liability insurance”, covers your business’s liability in the event of a network security failure such as data breaches, malware, ransomware DDOS and other network attacks, and business account and email.
The coverage is designed to cover the expenses of liability claims and ancillary expenses of these attacks or breaches. The policy also provides your business with real-time access to cyber security specialists that can help you mitigate risk to your business by consulting you at the time of an event.
A data breach can also damage your business’ reputation and put your customers and employees at risk. That's why you should consider getting cyber insurance for your business, even if it is a small business.
