Cyber insurance can help an organization recover losses and associated costs resulting from:
Comprehensive cyber insurance coverage can provide you with resources and reimbursement for items such as:
Such insurance policies can also offer you balance sheet protection for first- and third-party costs and liabilities such as:
Any company or public sector entity that uses technology or data faces cyber risk, and the list of cyber risks challenging organizations today is expanding exponentially. Ransomware, for instance, is increasing in frequency, severity, and sophistication. But it’s just one of many cyber risks to be understood, measured, and managed.
With cyber insurance, you can create a tailored coverage program that transfers risk out of your organization and reduces balance sheet impact and volatility resulting from cyberattacks.
Having a comprehensive cyber risk insurance program in place — complemented by a risk management program — has never been more important to help your organization properly manage its risk.
The cybersecurity attacks dominating the headlines today are largely insurable. In those cases where companies bought insurance, coverage responded, and claims were paid.
While terms and conditions can vary, a cyber insurance policy can include comprehensive coverage in advance of, during, and after a ransomware attack. It may cover, but is not limited to, incident response planning, breach notification services, and restoration and repair.
Businesses responding to a recent survey indicated that the most common attacks they faced were ransomware, phishing/social engineering, and privacy breaches. The same survey also revealed that nearly 75% of those organizations had experienced a breach in the past year.
Here’s what you should understand about these trends in relation to your own risk management.
Any organization that uses technology or data has potential cybersecurity exposure. The list of cyber risks is endless, and disruptions to your business can have an enormous impact on your operations and the bottom line. But cyber, like any business risk, can be understood, measured, and managed.
When it comes to managing cyber risk and threat exposures, companies typically gravitate toward technology solutions, including cybersecurity hardware and software, cybersecurity consulting and penetration testing services, and cyber risk scorecards. However, despite spending millions, most organizations lack a true view of organizational cyber risk and its potential economic and operational impact on their business.
Our clients look to us for our unique ability to help them better manage cyber risk throughout their organization and improve their resilience. We can help you:
