Liability Protection

Cyber Insurance

Why Cyber Insurance ?

The information and digital age allow us to collect more data, collaborate more efficiently, streamline business processes, and extract information around the globe 24/7.

Increased reliance on computer systems and access to information can significantly increase a company’s vulnerability to cyber security threats. Outages, mistakes, or attacks on these new processes can result in significant out-of-pocket costs that can devastate an organisation’s bottom line. When it comes to data security breach or privacy loss, it isn’t a matter of whether it will happen, but rather when it will happen. To prevent it from happening, you’ll need comprehensive protection from an insurer that specialises in handling cyber risks, offers a full suite of integrated insurance solutions to help minimise gaps in coverage, and understands how to tailor coverage for your business.
