Cyber Insurance Myths Debunked

Virtually all businesses have a risk from Cyber-attacks. Ask yourself if you had no access to your systems, server, email or website, how long would it take before this impacted on your income and ability to trade?

Cyber insurance is much more than data breach and privacy risk. Two of the most common claims are funds transfer fraud and system damage or business interruption as a result of ransomware. The NotPetya ransom outbreak targeted the manufacturing and logistics industry and was estimated to have cost £1 billion with the majority of loss relating to operational disruption leading to business interruption and rebuilding/replacing systems.

No I.T service provider can guarantee 100% protection from Cyber-attacks. In fact, I.T Service providers commonly recommend Cyber insurance as they are acutely aware of the high level of risk Cyber-attacks pose irrespective of the preventative measures they take for clients.

Typically I.T service providers contracts make no allowance for the costs of dealing with a Cyber-attack. If your provider has the skillset to help, this service would normally be at a significant additional cost. Cyber insurers have specialist claims teams at the forefront of Cyber-attack technology, also providing PR advice and guidance to mitigate reputational damage.

We’ve all heard about major corporations falling victim to cyber-attacks because they’re reported in the news, but you don’t hear about losses to small firms that aren’t newsworthy. This however doesn’t mean the losses don’t occur. A recent Verizon report found that 58% of victims were small businesses. Cybercriminals see smaller organisations as low hanging fruit because they often lack the resources to heavily invest in I.T security or provide cyber security training for their staff, making them an easier target.
