Cyber Risk Insurance
Cyber insurance provides financial protection for businesses against losses resulting from cyber incidents like data breaches, ransomware attacks, and other cyber threats. It covers costs like data restoration, legal fees, and business interruption. Essentially, it helps businesses mitigate the financial impact of cyberattacks by offsetting various expenses incurred during and after a breach.
Key aspects of cyber risk insurance:
-
-
First-party costs: These are direct costs incurred by the insured, such as IT forensics, legal expenses, data restoration, and breach notification costs.
-
Third-party liability: Cyber insurance can also provide coverage for third-party damages resulting from a breach, such as privacy violations or reputational harm.
-
Business interruption: Policies may cover lost income and other costs due to business shutdowns or disruptions caused by a cyber incident.
-
Network business interruption: This coverage helps organizations facing operational cyber risks, including system failures and security breaches.
