Cyber insurance is becoming essential for most organizations, but if your company is small, it may not be worth the cost. It’s wise to take the time to create a cyber security plan that addresses all of your risks before you pay the premiums on cyber insurance. You can cover many of the same things that a cyber insurance policy would cover with a good cyber security plan, including coverage for legal expenses, business interruption, and loss of data. If you have a lot of valuable data that can be stolen, cyber insurance may be a good option for you. However, if you don’t have a lot of data or other valuable assets to protect, you may not need cyber insurance.
The age of technology has arrived and with it, new concerns. As individuals become more reliant on the internet for personal data storage and communication, they must also be aware of the potential risks posed by cyber intrusions. I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Jean Jones, an expert in cybersecurity who specializes in helping people protect their digital assets from malicious actors. She proposed that everyone should consider getting some kind of cyber insurance policy as soon as possible in order to ensure their information remains safe online. She went on to explain that these policies usually cover things, such as identity theft protection and can provide reimbursement for any losses incurred due to a successful attack. In addition, not only do they offer financial security but peace of mind too knowing that one's private data is being kept safe by professionals with years of experience fighting against hackers and other malicious actors lurking on the web.
