Cyber Security Insurance

Cyber Security Insurance is designed to protect commercial businesses against a wide range of first and third party liability occurring out of cyber exposures as-sociated with e-business, internet, networks and information assets. Companies with access to private & confidential information about their customers have a responsibility to keep it secure. Equally, companies who have a web presence or a dependency on technology have emerging content and transactional exposures. Cyber risk is steadily increasing. Security/Data breaches affect millions of records a year and reports of breaches continue to rise at a dramatic rate. The introduc-tion of viruses and unauthorised access are well known examples.
