What is cyber insurance?

Cyber insurance, also referred to as cyber liability insurance, covers a broad range of risks including data loss, breaches and software attacks. Cyber insurance can also cover tech-related threats and loss of data which results in lost, stolen or tampered-with information. Cyber polices continue to grow in popularity amongst small business owners who conduct business online and face increasing virtual threats and risks.

What does cyber cover?

Data Breach

In the event that someone gains unauthorized access to sensitive or confidential business information, a cyber liability policy would cover the costs associated with defending or correcting these breaches

System Hacks

Any business regardless of its size faces cyber security threats. If a cyber-criminal gains access to your business' private infrastructure or back-end system, associated financial losses for your business or a third-party can be covered.

Ransomware

If malicious malware is installed on your business devices or back-end system, financial losses associated with regaining access can be covered under a cyber insurance policy
