Cyber threats to small businesses are growing fast, and if you think your business is too small to be a target, think again. In fact, 43% of all cyberattacks target small businesses.
What is Cyber Insurance?
Cyber insurance helps protect businesses from financial losses due to data breaches, phishing attacks, ransomware, and other types of cybercrime. It can help cover costs such as: – Investigating the breach – Legal fees – Data recovery – Government notification requirements – Business interruption and income loss
How Can a Cyberattack Happen?
Phishing emails are one of the most common methods. You or your employee receives a realistic-looking email, maybe from a known contact. One click, and the attacker can start recording keystrokes, gathering passwords, and accessing sensitive data. Even if you catch it quickly, you’re likely looking at thousands in remediation costs, and potential lawsuits if customer data is compromised.
Who Needs Cyber Insurance?
If your business handles any personally identifiable information (PII), such as names, addresses, payment info, or medical data, you need to assess your cyber risk. This includes: – Medical and dental offices – Retailers – Contractors – Accountants and financial advisors – Small e-commerce businesses
