Having specific insurance coverage in place to mitigate a cyber event can reduce its impact on a business from a financial, reputational and business interruption perspective.
Key considerations for businesses when choosing cyber insurance are whether the policy provides:
- Cover for the costs of dealing with data breaches
- Cover for the costs of dealing with cyber liability claims
- Cover for business losses from a cyber event
- Cover that helps businesses deal with the impact of cyber crime − Cover for hardware and data corruption
- Access to expert advice and support (e.g. IT, legal, forensic and media relations) when an incident occurs
