What is Cybersecurity Insurance?
Cybersecurity insurance, also known as cyber liability insurance, is designed to help organizations offset the costs associated with cyberattacks and data breaches. It typically covers expenses related to data recovery, legal fees, notification costs, and regulatory fines.
Why is Cybersecurity Insurance Important?
As businesses increasingly rely on digital platforms, the potential for cyber incidents grows. Cybersecurity insurance provides a safety net, ensuring that a cyber event doesn’t lead to financial ruin. It complements robust cybersecurity practices by offering financial support when preventive measures fail.
Key Considerations When Choosing a Policy:
Coverage Scope: Ensure the policy covers a range of incidents, including data breaches, ransomware attacks, and business interruption.
Exclusions: Be aware of what is not covered, such as pre-existing vulnerabilities or insider threats.
Response Support: Some insurers offer access to incident response teams to assist during a cyber event.
