  • Cyber Liability Insurance

Cyber Liability Insurance

One of the more modern threats to a business is an online attack, where hackers take down your website, access confidential data from your databases, or send out scam emails or messages to your client base.

Some of the biggest companies in the world have been exposed by a cyber attack – Google, Apple, eBay – all these giants have suffered. They managed to get back on their feet – but not all companies do.

Some have such damage to their reputation that they cannot win their customers back. Others lose a lot of money which they cannot recover from.

It isn’t just the big companies either- small start ups are also vulnerable, especially if you are just getting to grips with new IT systems and perhaps do not have the security you need on your new website.

Remember that all companies hold sensitive data, so any hacker would be interested in getting hold of this and breaching your firewalls to use the information to their advantage.

GDPR rules mean that any such breach could result in hefty fines of up to 4% of your annual turnover.

If you are worried about a cyber attack affecting your business, then you would be wise to invest in cyber liability insurance to cover yourself against this growing risk.
