Cyber Liability Insurance
Why do you need to think about your cyber risks?
From the increased use of mobile and the web, to collecting and storing client data, the reliance your business has on technology has probably grown in recent years. In parallel, the risks faced by businesses relying on technology and data has also increased.
Cyber liability insurance helps by:
- Taking action
As soon as we’re notified of an incident, our cyber policy reacts, covering your liabilities on media, data security, viruses and hacking. - Rectification
Costs covered are further reaching than your initial liabilities. Customer notifications, credit monitoring and legal fees are also included. - Repairing the damage
In addition to hiring forensic to identify root causes, PR consultants can also be paid to mitigate damage to your brand.
