A question I’m asked often is, “Do we need cyber insurance?” I’m not a cyber liability insurance salesman, but I will tell you that you most likely do need this specialized insurance coverage in this day and age.
Why Is Cyber Liability Insurance So Important?
Most of us have what I would call the Crown Jewels or some type of very important data that we’re trying to protect.
For example, a healthcare organization protects personal information about medical care. A financial services institution protects financial data and actual dollars in assets. Many other types of businesses have what we would call critical data. It could be intellectual property, customer information, employee data, or lots and lots of things.
The bottom line is when that gets exposed to bad actors, you need some type of remedy to protect yourself. Often, that remedy is going to come in the form of a cyber liability insurance policy. So, I highly encourage you to talk to your insurance agent or broker, figure out if it’s right for you, and make that good decision.
What Is Cyber Liability Insurance?
Cyber liability insurance is a specialized form of coverage designed to protect businesses from the financial losses and legal liabilities associated with data breaches, cyberattacks, and other digital threats. This type of insurance can help cover the costs of notifying affected customers, legal fees, regulatory fines, business interruption, and even the restoration of compromised data systems.
With cybercriminals becoming more sophisticated and craftier every day, safeguarding sensitive information is more critical than ever. Having the right insurance and cyber security is essential to ensure your business is protected against cyber risks.
