Cyber Insurance is critical for effective cyber risk management
Key reasons why?
Helps business respond to and recover from financial costs associated with breach events. These can include:
- Operational Disruption- When a cyber incident disrupts normal business operations, you need immediate support to cover the resulting losses.
- Remediation and Recovery Expenses - Helping foot the bill for investigating breaches, communicating with affected parties, and restoring systems.
- Legal Fees–Cyber incidents often involve legal complexities. Having insurance ensures that legal costs don’t become a burden.
- Reputational Harm - A cyberattack can tarnish a company’s reputation. Insurance helps manage the fallout.
- Regulatory Fines - Compliance violations can lead to hefty fines and complex rework. Good coverage provides a safety net here as well.
