CYBER COVER As businesses become ever more reliant on technology, the risks from suffering a loss related to problems with their computer systems, or holding sensitive customer data, continue to grow. This can lead to lost revenue, a damaged reputation, and legal and regulatory costs, not to mention the associated business disruption. Why Cyber Insurance? A traditional commercial insurance policy will not protect clients against most cyber exposures. Standard commercial policies are written to insure against injury or physical loss and will do little, if anything, to shield clients from electronic damages and the associated costs they may incur. Exposures are vast, ranging from the content your clients put on your website to stored customer data. Awareness of the potential cyber exposures your clients face is essential to managing their risk through proper cover. What possible exposures can be covered by a typical cyber policy? Breach costs Crisis containment Cyber business interruption Cyber Extortion Hacker Damage Privacy protection Multimedia liability Cyber crime Telephone hacking As reliance on technology continues to increase, new exposures continue to emerge. As your clients business grows, make sure their cyber insurance cover grows with it. BC Underwriting are here to help you analyse your clients needs and make the right cover decisions to protect your clients operations from unnecessary risk.
