Overview

Why Cyber Insurance
Matters

Cyber insurance is essential for risk management, providing resources and expertise to strengthen cyber security defenses and develop robust incident response plans. It reduces the likelihood of cyber incidents and enhances security posture.

In the event of a cyber incident, such as a data breach, ransomware attack, or social engineering scam, cyber insurance is critical to covering the associated costs.

These expenses may include data recovery efforts, legal fees, regulatory fines and public relations campaigns to maintain customer trust and protect your brand reputation.

Moreover, cyber insurance plays a vital role in ensuring your business can recover quickly and resume normal operations after an incident.

By providing timely financial support and access to recovery resources, cyber insurance minimises downtime and reduces the overall financial loss your business may face.

Investing in cyber insurance not only safeguards your financial well-being but also demonstrates to your customers, partners and stakeholders that you take cyber security seriously and are prepared to handle potential incidents effectively.

This commitment to cyber security can help maintain customer trust and confidence in your brand, even in the face of a cyber incident.

FAQ

What types of cyber incidents are covered by cyber insurance?

Cyber insurance typically covers a wide range of incidents, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, phishing schemes, malware infections, and denial of service (DoS) attacks. It also covers business interruption losses related to operational downtime caused by these incidents, as well as legal and regulatory expenses for compliance and defence.

How does cyber insurance complement existing cyber security measures?

Cyber insurance provides financial and operational support where technical defences may fall short. It covers costs such as data recovery, legal fees, and business interruption, offering a safety net that complements your cyber security measures. Additionally, it provides access to expert incident response teams and resources for public relations management, ensuring comprehensive protection and quick recovery after an incident.

What are the typical exclusions and limitations to be aware of in cyber risk insurance policies?

Common exclusions in cyber insurance policies include acts of war or terrorism, incidents caused by pre-existing vulnerabilities that were not addressed, and intentional or grossly negligent acts by employees. Some policies may also exclude certain types of data loss or require additional riders for comprehensive coverage, and losses involving unencrypted data may not be covered depending on the policy terms.

How is the cost of a cyber insurance policy determined?

The cost of a cyber insurance policy is influenced by factors such as the size and revenue of the business, industry risk levels, the sensitivity and volume of data handled, the current cyber security measures in place, and the business’s claims history. The breadth of coverage and policy limits also play a significant role in determining the premium.

How often should we review and update our cyber insurance policy?

It’s recommended to review and update your cyber insurance policy at least annually, or whenever there are significant changes in your business operations, IT infrastructure, or regulatory environment. Regular reviews ensure that your coverage remains adequate and aligned with your evolving risk profile, providing continuous protection.
